Police are teaming up with 7-Eleven for Operation Chill to receive free Slurpee coupons that can be handed out to kids as a way to make connections in the community.

The convenience store chain calls the program a way to hand out “Slurpee justice.”
“We are always looking for ways to help our officers build strong relationships and connections within the community,” said Falls Township police Chief Nelson Whitney “The Operation Chill program makes it easy to interact with kids in a positive way. This is a great short and long-term investment for 7-Eleven and for us.”
The company has been running Operation Chill with police departments big and small for 25 years. The program first started in Philadelphia.

“With a simple Slurpee coupon, the Operation Chill program lets local officers connect with kids and recognize their good behavior, which is essential to creating long-term positive relationships,” said 7-Eleven President and CEO Joe DePinto. “Since 1995, 7-Eleven distributed millions of Slurpee drink coupons to kids across the country. The program’s success over 25 years is a powerful testament to the importance of making these community connections – both for 7-Eleven and public safety officers.”
Since the program started, more than 23 million Operation Chill coupons have been distributed to law enforcement agencies across the country.
