Kudos for Kindness

The Kissimmee Police Department created the Kudos for Kindness program as a fun way to recognize kids who make a positive difference in our community. When an officer sees a young person doing something kind, helpful, or respectful, they may receive a special Kudos for Kindness citation as a reward.

 

Each "citation" includes a free treat from one of our generous local business partners as our way of saying “thank you” for spreading kindness.

How It Works

    1. Do Something Kind
      Officers look for acts of kindness like helping a neighbor, picking up litter, showing respect to others, or helping a classmate.

    2. Receive a "Citation"
      If an officer spots you doing something great, you may receive a Kudos for Kindness citation.

    3. Redeem Your Reward
      Bring your citation to any participating business listed on this webpage your free treat!
