The South River Police Department will hold “Coffee With a Cop” at 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 16 at Villagio’s Food Emporium, 67 Main St., South River.
Officers will meet with community members in an informal, neutral space to discuss community issues, build relationships and drink coffee.
“Coffee with a Cop” is a national initiative supported by The United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. Similar events are held across the country as local police departments strive to make lasting connections with the communities they serve.
The program aims to advance the practice of community policing through improving relationships between police officers and community members one cup of coffee at a time.
