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.

In over 190 cities and towns in 36 states, Coffee with a Cop has done wonders for community trust, police legitimacy and partnership building.

Community members come to a local Coffee with a Cop for a variety of reasons, but no matter why they come to their local event, they are likely to leave with a more positive impression of their local law enforcement agency.

One of the keys to Coffee with a Cop’s success is that it 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 is foundation to building partnerships and engaging in community problem solving.

The Grapevine Police Department will host a Coffee with a Cop Event Saturday, Jan. 24th, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.. The event will be held at Starbucks inside Tom Thumb Market at 302 S. Park St. in Grapevine.

So pull up a chair and grab a cup of coffee….
