Coffee With a Cop This Friday Morning

Elk Grove Police Department reaches out to the community


Have you ever wanted to ask a police officer a question, but didn’t know how to go about doing it? Officers from the Elk Grove Police Department’s Problem Oriented Policing Unit will be available to answer law enforcement related questions from members of the community on January 22, 2010 from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. at Starbucks (8450 Elk Grove Blvd.) as part of the “Coffee with a Cop” program.

The “Coffee with a Cop” program is a unique way to strengthen the partnership between the police department and the community it serves. “Being able to build relationships within the community is very important,” said Elk Grove Police Chief Robert Lehner. “By providing residents with the opportunity to informally meet with an officer, we believe that the information gathered will be invaluable in identifying and resolving issues within the community.”

Members of the community will be able to ask specific or general questions regarding issues that are affecting their neighborhoods.

This is the first “Coffee with a Cop” event of the year. Additional dates and locations will be posted on the Elk Grove Police Department’s web site (www.elkgrovepd.org) as they become available.
