“You’ve Been Ticketed” program to benefit area youth

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville Athletics Department is teaming up with the Evansville Police Department, Vanderburgh Country Sheriff's Office, G.D. Ritzy's, Vectren Corporation and Toyota Indiana to start a program called "You've Been Ticketed".

"You've Been Ticketed" will see police officers and sheriff's deputies in the Evansville area giving out "tickets" to local youth as a reward for exhibiting good behavior, displaying a positive attitude and making right choices. This program is an important way for youth and law enforcement to strengthen their relationship in a unique and lasting way.

"The Purple Aces are excited to team up with such a great group of agencies and businesses to start the "You've Been Ticketed" program," UE Director of Revenue Development John Rodgers said.
