Coffee with a Cop

Police and community members come together in an informal, neutral space to discuss community issues, build relationships, and drink FREE coffee. It allows for a relaxed, informal one-on-one interaction in a friendly atmosphere. So pull up a chair and grab a cup of coffee. We meet quarterly throughout the city.
