Maryland Police Offer Free Slushies in Bizarre Bid to Combat Exploding Youth Crime Rates (VIDEO)

Takoma Park police have rolled out what could be the most unconventional weapon in the history of law enforcement: free Slurpee coupons.

This month, officers are doling out what they call “tickets” to children—not for misbehavior, but for good deeds, according to WJLA.

The program, named “Operation Chill,” is designed to build a positive relationship between the police and local youth. Officers are issuing ‘tickets’ to children for good behavior and acts of kindness.
