Members of the community sat down with police officers for coffee and conversation.

Coffee with a Cop brought police officers and the community members they serve to ask questions, voice concerns and get to know one another.

“It’s really important that people know, police officers aren’t always in the law enforcement mode, sometimes the only interaction you have is the ticket you got, we like to have them meet police officers in a different type of setting,” Michael Badger, Springfield Police Department said.

Coffee with a cop is held throughout the year at different locations.
