Coffee with a Cop
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office would like to invite the community to join them for coffee at Mountain High Coffee & Books, 18983 Hartmann Road, Hidden Valley Lake. On Friday, June 2, between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m., members from every rank of the Sheriff’s Office and members of the California Highway Patrol will be on hand to meet with the public. There is no agenda or speeches, just a chance to ask questions and get to know the men and women who protect and serve you every day.
Coffee with a Cop is an event where police and community members come together in an informal, neutral space to discuss community issues, build relationships and drink coffee. It is a national initiative supported by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, and has been implemented by many cities and towns across the country.
The goal of the program is to increase community trust, police legitimacy, and partnership building. Coffee with a Cop removes the physical barriers and crisis situations that routinely define interactions between law enforcement officials and community members. Instead, it allows for relaxed, informal one-on-one interactions in a friendly atmosphere. This informal contact increases trust in police officers as individuals which are the foundation to building partnerships and engaging in community problem-solving. The program aims to advance the practice of Community Policing through improving relationships between police officers and the community, one cup at a time.
