Falmouth Police to take part in national ‘Coffee With a Cop’ Initiative

FALMOUTH – On March 25th,  officers from the Falmouth Police Department and community members will come together in an informal, neutral space to discuss community issues, build relationships, and drink coffee.

 All community members are invited to attend. The event begins at 9:00am onMarch 25th at East Falmouth Dunkin Donuts.

 Coffee with a Cop provides a unique opportunity for community members to ask questions and learn more about the department’s work in Falmouth’s neighborhoods.

 The majority of contacts law enforcement has with the public happen during emergencies or emotional situations. Those situations are not always the most effective times for relationship building with the community, and some community members may feel that officers are unapproachable on the street. Coffee with a Cop   breaks down barriers and allows for a relaxed, one-on-one interaction.

 The national initiative supported by The United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. Similar events are being held across the county, 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.
