To the Editor:

I want to thank the Long Beach Township Police Department for their great program, the Safe Kid Award.

My granddaughter was riding her bike by my house in High Bar Harbor when Officer Matt Vereb stopped. He handed her a Safe Kid Award, which is good for one free ice cream at one of the four locations on the Island. In Barnegat Light that would be Dairy Queen and Poppy’s.
