The Fort Myers Police Department's Do The Right Thing program is continuing to flourish under the leadership of its new coordinator, Maureen Buice.

The goal of Do The Right Thing is to recognize children for their accomplishments and positive behavior. Children are honored at monthly ceremonies for everything from bringing up a grade in school to turning in lost money to saving a life.

Do The Right Thing plans special events for winners, and works closely with five local law enforcement agencies to plan the annual regional picnic. The event is hosted by the Fort Myers, Cape Coral and Punta Gorda Police Departments along with the Lee County and Collier County Sheriff's Offices.  The event is attended by more than 800 people and is sponsored by FOX4 and Embarq.

Business sponsors make the program successful. In return, Do The Right Thing recognizes their business partners at all events and on all program literature.
