Bedford Police to Issue Tickets to Children for Good Behavior

BEDFORD — Chief Robert Bongiorno is pleased to announce that the Bedford Police Department is partnering with Bedford Farms Ice Cream to reward children for good behavior as they go back to school.

Police officers will hand out coupons for a free kid size ice cream cone to students who are “caught” doing the right thing. Examples include wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle and crossing the street correctly.

The coupon can be used at any of the Bedford Farms shops, which are located in Bedford, Burlington and Concord.

“We are proud to partner with Bedford Farms Ice Cream to issue tickets for good behavior throughout the community,” Lt. James Graham said. “This gives our officers the opportunity to connect with our youth while highlighting the importance of safety as they go back to school.”
