This youth initiative, Operation Freeze, was developed by Mac’s in 2007 as part of their crime prevention through community engagement strategy. This provides police officers the opportunity to engage in the positive ticketing of young people who are observed doing random acts of kindness or exhibiting positive behaviour in the community. Peel Regional Police has actively participated in the positive ticketing program since 2013.
The program recognizes youth for wearing bicycle helmets, doing good deeds, participating in community activities, picking up trash, and deterring crime or observing school crossing rules.
