Whether kindergarteners, trudging under the weight of a new backpack, running haphazardly into intersections, or packs of older kids, they present a precious hazard. Please keep y... Full story

The Glasgow Police Department has partnered with McDonald’s, Flips and Dairy Queen of Glasgow, to make coupons for free ice cream cones available for officers to reward kids they notice making good decisions. Earlier this spring, Lieutenant Trint Gamas approached the department about an incentive program for kids found to be safely and appropriately seated in car seats. The idea was further developed to reward youth in our community that were making safe choices wherever officers encountered them. Whether this is being properly seated in a c... Full story
