The Coffee with a Cop community program for 2015 was a huge success and greatly enabled the Police Department to engage, connect and build relationships with the community. In an effort to continue this vitally important event, the first 2016 Coffee with a Cop will be held in partnership with the Cup Up Coffee shop located at 210 East Main Street inside Audio Intersection. The event is scheduled for Saturday, January 9, 2016, from 9:00 – 11:00 am.
Chief Mark Mitchell stated, “Our Coffee with a Cop program this year has been very well received by our citizens and even spotlighted on CNN for how we and other departments across our country are working hard to remove physical barriers with those we serve. Our goal for 2016 is to continue to have these monthly meetings which we strongly feel allows for relaxed, informal one-on-one interactions in a friendly atmosphere. This will enable our residents and business owners to voice their concerns about any issues they may have and provides us with vital feedback that helps the department improve our service to the community.”
Chief Mitchell added, “I would like to thank Cup Up Coffee and their CEO for agreeing to host such an important event for the agency and our citizens.”
