This summer, sheriff’s deputies in Santee and other parts of the county will be handing out coupons for free Slurpees to youngsters they see doing positive activities in the community.
It’s all part of Operation Chill, a program sponsored by 7-Eleven stores that rewards kids for good behavior. The program is aimed at making uniformed officers less intimidating to youngsters and to provide a way for deputies and kids to connect with each other.
Kids are eligible to get the coupons if they are seen playing sports, looking both ways before crossing the street, wearking a seat belt, picking up trash, demonstrating a carding attitude, showing respect towards parents or elders.
