Local Cops Participating In 'Operation Chill' Community Program

DOYLESTOWN, PA — "Operation Chill" is in effect in Doylestown and your reward, kids, will be a yummy frozen treat.

During "Operation Chill," an effort spearheaded by 7-Eleven stores, officers with the Central Bucks Regional Police Department will be “ticketing” kids they see doing good deeds or exhibiting positive behavior.

But the "ticket" will be a coupon for a free 12-oz Slurpee at 7-Eleven.

The community outreach program is designed to reduce crime and enhance relations between police and youth, according to the convenience store chain.

Now in its 23rd year, Operation Chill has grown to include more than 1,000 local law enforcement agencies in the United States and Canada. Nearly 21 million coupons have been distributed, the company said.
