ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI)– The Reverend Larry Rice is hoping to launch what he calls a “Positive Ticketing Program.”

He says the program involves giving tickets to people caught doing good in the community.

He’s recruiting local police departments to participate in the program and volunteers are also asking local businesses to provide gift certificates as a reward.

Rice says the program would give young people in the community a positive experience with police.

His goal is to see officers hand out five positive tickets a day.
