Coffee with a Cop on September 20, 2014
Program offers opportunity to meet local officers and discuss community issues
On September 20, 2014, officers from the Huntley 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 will begin at 8:30 am at the Village Inn, located in downtown Huntley at 10713 Main Street. Please contact Sgt. Kevin D. Hillner with questions: 847-515-5332, or [email protected].
Coffee with a Cop provides a unique opportunity for community members to ask questions and learn more about the department’s work in Huntley.
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.
“We hope that community members will feel comfortable to ask questions, bring concerns, or simply get to know our officers,” said John Perkins. “These interactions are the foundation of community partnerships.”
Coffee with a Cop is a national initiative supported by The United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. 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.
