Great news!!! With the help of Chief Plummer we were able to finalize the plans for Kirkwood Police Officers and Police Chaplains to hand out Positive Tickets to young people who are caught doing good things.
Essentially it will work like this. When an officer sees a young person doing something ‘good’ they will present them with the ticket and explain why they are receiving the ticket. The student can then take that ticket to the Kirkwood Police booth at the festival. An officer will initial their ticket (another positive interaction) and return the ticket back to the young person so they can keep it as a positive reminder. The officer will then present the student with a coupon for a free ‘something.’ We’re not 100% on the something yet but our plan is that the youth can get something free at the Kirkwood Parks concession stand next to the police booth. The young person can also get information on our Kirkwood Asset Builders Initiative. Excellent first step.
