This is a great chance to meet your local officers, ask questions and chat in a friendly, relaxed setting. The national Coffee with A Cop was launched in Hawthorne, Calif., in 2011. In less than five years, Coffee with a Cop expanded to all 50 states. The event is one of the most successful community oriented policing programs across the country. The program also has grown outside the U.S. to Canada, Europe, Australia, and Africa. The key to Coffee with a Cop's success is that it opens the door for interactions outside of the crisis situations that typically bring law enforcement officers and community members together.
