Q: Tell us about “Coffee and Cops.” What gave you the inspiration for the event and why was it important to you?

A: We did it last semester as an ice breaker so students, staff and faculty could get to know us a little better and we plan on doing it every semester from here on. Oct. 2 was National Coffee with Cops Day so we have been planning this since last semester.
