Reminder- Join us tonight at Coffee Bean for National Coffee With A Cop Day!
The U.S. DOJ, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) has declared October 7th as National Coffee with a Cop Day 2016!
On Friday, October 7, the Torrance Police Department will be participating in National Coffee with a Cop Day and will be at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, located at 21300 Hawthorne Blvd at the Del Amo Fashion Center from 5:00pm-7:00pm.
The Coffee with a Cop program was started by the Hawthorne Police Department in 2011 as a way to help “break down barriers” between police and the community. The concept is simple, Police officers and community members come together in an informal, neutral space to discuss community issues, build relationships, and drink coffee. Since 2011, Coffee with a Cop has done wonders for community trust and partnership building. One of the keys to Coffee with a Cop’s success is that it removes the physical barriers that routinely exist between police officers and community members, allowing for the relaxed, one-on-one interactions which are the necessary foundation of partnerships. Informal contact in a friendly atmosphere increases trust between police officers and the members of our community which is critical to public safety and problem solving.
The Torrance Police Department has been participating in Coffee with a Cop since December of 2014 and we have had great success in building relationships with our community!
We hope that you will join us on Friday, October 7, 2016 for the first National Coffee with a Cop Day.
