On Thursday, October 18, officers from the Kingwood division of the Houston Police Department and local residents will come together to discuss community issues, build relationships and drink some coffee.
The event will be from 8:30 - 10:30 AM at Kingwood Bagel (2855 W Lake Houston Pkwy, 77339).
Everyone is encouraged to attend, as Coffee with a Cop provides a unique opportunity for citizens to ask questions and learn more about what officers do on a day-to-day basis right here in our Kingwood neighborhoods.
The majority of contacts law enforcement has with the public tend to happen during emergencies or emotional situations. Those occasions 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 those barriers and allows for a relaxed, one-on-one interaction.
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 on a regular basis, so local law enforcement agencies can make lasting connections with the communities they serve.
See y'all there! 4951
