The city and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department recently began participating in the “Caught Being Good Program,” which is designed to cite children for good deeds. For example, if a sheriff’s deputy witnesses a child properly using a crosswalk, the child will receive a ticket for good behavior.

The child’s parents will receive a letter and the child will get a choice of a free candy bar, cookie, ice cream cone or hot chocolate from a participating community store.
