Tuesday, Jan. 7 | 9-11 a.m.
Summer Moon Coffee, 3600 Rogers Branch Road, Suite 104
The Wake Forest Police Department (WFPD) will host “Coffee with a Cop” Tuesday, Jan. 7, from 9-11 a.m. at Summer Moon Coffee, 3600 Rogers Branch Road, Suite. 104.
“Coffee with a Cop” provides a unique opportunity for law enforcement and community members to come together in an informal, neutral setting to discuss community issues and build relationships - one cup of coffee at a time.
Most of the contact law enforcement officers have with the public tends to occur during emergencies or emotional situations, which are often not the best times to build relationships. “Coffee with a Cop” aims to breaks down barriers and allow for relaxed, one-on-one interaction.
All community members are invited to attend, ask questions, and learn more about the WFPD. Wake Forest Coffee Company will provide free standard coffee during the event, and several Wake Forest Police officers will be on hand.
Attendees are discouraged from making speeches or airing grievances at this event.
“Coffee with a Cop” is a national initiative supported by The US Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. Similar events are offered across the country, as local law enforcement agencies strive to make lasting connections with the communities they serve.
