Several Clarksville police officers enjoyed some downtime with community members Thursday, August 15, at Mugsy’s as part of the ‘Coffee with a Cop’ program.

The Clarksville Police Department partners with local businesses to bring the community together with officers in a relaxed setting, giving the public a better understanding of the officers and law enforcement. In return, the officers have a chance to interact with people on a one-to-one basis.

Detective Michael Patterson, one of the officers in attendance, said that the officers really want to give the community a chance to speak to them when they are not being pulled over by a patrol car. They want be seen as approachable, and offer any help they can.
