"Bike Cops for Kids" Promote Safety in North Minneapolis
If you see a police officer stopping a child this summer, it may be a good thing...especially if it's part of The Minneapolis Police Department's "Bike Cops for Kids" program.

Throughout the summer, police officers ride through neighborhoods and distribute 400 bike helmets. North Memorial partners with the Police Department by helping them gain access to low-cost helmets. The children get special stickers so the officers know which helmets they gave away. Then, if the officers see them wearing the helmets later in the summer, the child will win one of 40 free bikes. The program, in its second year in North Minneapolis, aims to develop positive relationships between Minneapolis Police officers and the community. Check out the Bike Cops' Facebook fan page or blog to learn more.
