It's a simple concept. Police and community members come together in an informal, neutral space to discuss community issues, build relationships, and drink coffee. Coffee with a Cop is currently strengthening community and police relations and enhancing officer safety in over 250 cities, towns, and campuses in 41 states.
One of the keys to Coffee with a Cop's success is that it removes the physical barriers that routinely exist between police officers and community members, allowing for relaxed, one-on-one interactions. Informal contact in a friendly atmosphere increases trust in police officers as individuals, and improves the image of police overall.
This free two-day workshop will review the philosophies of community policing and procedural justice, explain how Coffee with a Cop aids in problem solving and relationship building, and will provide helpful strategies for implementing a successful Coffee with a Cop event.
