Building relationships. One cup at a time.

Coffee with a Cop brings police officers and the community members they serve together–over coffee–to discuss issues and learn more about each other.

Do you work in the neighborhood?

Yes, I work at the grocery store down the block. I’ve noticed there’s been a strange car parked near the store the past couple of weeks. I’m not sure if it’s abandoned.

I can help with that. I’ll call our parking enforcement officer to check on it right now.

Thanks!

Gorgeous weather we’re having lately.

Sure is. Hey, I was thinking about hosting a block party this summer. Do I need to let the police department know?

Great question. Any event, other than construction, that uses a roadway requires a special events permit. I can give you the number to set that up.

That would be great!

This is a great neighborhood. How long have you lived here?

I’ve been here 15 years, and I love it. But come to think of it, there’s been some vandalism lately. Is it okay to call the police if I see graffiti?

Absolutely. In fact, let me give you the 24-hour graffiti hotline.

Thanks!
