This summer, the Lloydminster RCMP is taking part in another positive ticketing campaign, working in partnership with Beyond Borders Circle of Change and the Lloydminster and District Co-op.
RCMP officers will be on the lookout to reward youth in the community they see doing positive acts such as putting trash in trash bins, wearing helmets, using crosswalks, and helping out neighbours.
“Officers are equipped with free slushy and ice cream coupons, thanks to the Lloydminster and District Co-op, and will hand out these positive tickets and coupons to deserving youth when they see them,” said Const. Melanie Flynn with the Community Policing Unit.
Flynn says it’s a great initiative promoting building positive relationships with the youth of Lloydminster and encouraging youth to take pride and play safely in our neighbourhoods.
