Manchester Police, McDonald's, Teaming Up For Coffee With A Cop

MANCHESTER, CT — McDonald’s restaurants in Connecticut are teaming up with their neighborhood police departments — including Vernon — to observe National Coffee with a Cop Day on Wednesday.

The national one-day event is designed to bring local police officers and citizens together – over coffee – to "discuss community issues and build relationships in a safe and neutral environment."

The Manchester event is on tap for the McDonald’s 70 West Center Street from 8 to 11 a.m.

Every year, the first Wednesday of October is deemed National Coffee with a Cop Day in the U.S., and thousands of police, sheriff, campus, local and federal law enforcement agencies participate in community events across the country.

All customers and community members attending Coffee with a Cop events will receive a free small cup of McCafe coffee, courtesy of McDonald’s.
