 A new program launched at the University of Evansville will reward children in the community for good behavior.

The program is called “You’ve Been Ticketed.”

Police officers and sheriff’s deputies will be giving out “tickets” to local youth as a reward for displaying a positive attitude, and making good choices.

Those tickets will be good for a youth and adult ticket to a UE athletic event, and a single scoop of ice cream from GD Ritzy’s.

The program aims to strengthen the relationship between police and the community.

The program is expected to begin within the next two weeks.
