Cops are not handing out the gift cards via pulling people over with lights sirens, as they are handing them out safely. The gift cards can be used at a local restaurant, Crowley’s Variety & Grill.

The police department will continue handing out the tickets until the end of March. However, if everything goes well, then the department may consider doing it again in the future.
