Yarmouth Police Handing Out ‘Positive Tickets’ to Kids

Usually no one likes getting a ticket from a police officer, but kids in Yarmouth are being surprised when an officer gives them a "positive ticket."

Casco Bay CAN, an organization that works to help prevent substance abuse among youths and Handy's Yarmouth got together to give the Yarmouth Police department  "Positive Tickets." When an officer sees kids being safe or doing good deeds, they could get a positive ticket that includes a gift card to Handy's.
