BPD Teams Up With Pralines To Keep Kids Safe

The Berlin Police Department has partnered with Praline’s Ice Cream of Berlin to begin their “Safe Kids - Wear Lids” campaign. This bicycle safety program was created by Officer Doug Bartolomeo and rewards children riding bicycles who are seen wearing a helmet.Berlin Officers have coupons good for one free kid size cone at Praline’s Ice Cream (1179 Farmington Avenue) and will be distributing them to children they see wearing their bike helmets while riding their bicycles.

Officer Bartolomeo has been with the department for three years. He is a member of our bicycle patrol and is a certified police cyclist instructor.

The department would like to thank Jim Scarfo, owner of Praline’s Ice Cream, for making this initiative possible.
