The following from CBS News Nov 8, 2017.

Police surprise drivers with turkeys instead of tickets for minor traffic violations.

“Oh, you guys! Thank you,” another driver chuckled as Sanderson handed her a frozen bird.

“Is that okay with you?” he asked.

“Yeah, you guys are sweethearts,” she said as she put away her wallet.

The turkeys were donated by Steve Gountanis, a local business man, who asked traffic enforcement officers to distribute them ahead of Thanksgiving.

“It’s just one more way to give back,” Sanders told CBS affiliate KTVQ.

Sanders said he was more than happy to spend his afternoon on this unique patrol. He enjoyed getting to interact with the public in such a positive light.

“You don’t get to see the amount of traffic stops that we make, or the DUIs that we stop from hitting people, or the drugs that we take off the streets,” Sanders said. “So to have that tangible thing you’re able to see and know that you’re making a difference, even if it is just a turkey, in someone’s life is kind of nice.”

The police department shared the uplifting story on their Facebook page, and received dozens of comments praising them for their good dead.

“What a fabulous gesture,” one Facebook user commented.
