Police Target Kids – and offer rewards for wearing helmets
The police departments of Sussex County, New Jersey began a new program that will start later this month which they hope will encourage kids to wear helmets when riding their bicycles or skating. The new program will reward kids who wear helmets when riding their bikes with a coupon for a treat at local businesses.
The Sussex County Police Department hopes that this new program will not only increase the number of children in the area who wear helmets, as they should, but to also increase awareness of the need for educational safety programs for kids.
