MIDLAND POLICE PARTICIPATE IN PROGRAM
TO REWARD CHILDREN FOR GOOD
The
Midland Police Department is taking part in a new Field Neurosciences Institute
program that rewards children for helping to prevent traumatic injuries.
The
“Caught Being Safe” program utilizes law enforcement officials, teachers and
others to catch and reward young people for practicing good safety habits
through the use of safety helmets. Midland police officers who see children
wearing their bike helmets will stop them and give them a reflective sticker
for their helmet and a voucher for a free ice cream cone from McDonald’s.
This
statewide program has been initiated by Field Neurosciences Institute, which is
affiliated with Saint Mary’s Hospital in
For
