On this episode of KSL's beyond the badge, we honor Officer Adrian Montelongo of the South Jordan Police Department who, while working his beat one day, decided to pull people over. Instead of giving them a ticket though, the shocked citizens found out that he was handing out coupons for a frozen treat so they could enjoy the day a little more. Officer Montelongo says that it's something as simple as interacting with people, or giving out a coupon for a frozen treat that can help the community.

KSL's Beyond the Badge recognizes the good work that Utah's public safety officers do every day to make each of our lives better. Listen to Utah's Morning News every weekday as Amanda Dickson highlights the everyday heroes who work tirelessly to keep us safe.
