On Monday, March 12, police from Bayside District Crime Unit (DCPC), Vulnerable Protection Unit (VPU), Volunteers in Policing (ViPs), Crime Stoppers and Police Liaison Officers (PLOs) boarded the Water Police Boat and attended Coffee with a Cop at Russell island.

This event was a great opportunity for community members to ask questions, voice concerns and get to know local police officers over a cuppa.

Being a Monday obviously coffee was a must, as the saying goes “But first, coffee.”

Police and all involved were on hand to give out advice and information on various topics including domestic violence and mental health, among other things.

Community members did yet another excellent job, signing up residents to receive free home security assessments.

A great day preventing crime!
