Next Coffee With A Cop Set For Thursday

CANTON, GA -- On Thursday, you will have another chance to meet and greet some of Canton's finest public servants over a cup of Joe.

The city's Police Department will host its next Coffee With A Cop event from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 17 at Dunkin' Donuts.

The initiative continues to grow and "allows the agency and citizens to connect, engage and build important trusting relationships that are vital to improving the quality of life for everyone in the community," Canton police said.

“We strongly believe Coffee with a Cop has become one of the most important monthly programs that we are involved in that is vital to us connecting with the citizens we serve," Chief Mark Mitchell added. "Given the current tense environment in our nation between communities and law enforcement, we feel this program helps to build a foundation of trust with each segment of our community and continues to grow a very positive culture between our hard working department and this great city.”

Mitchell also thanked citizens for their support and feedback, which he said helps the department provide better services and "humanizes the badge" to children and adults alike.

"Our hope is that our citizens will see that we truly care about them, their quality of life, their safety and what goes on in our city," the chief stated.

Dunkin' Donuts is located at 121 Marietta Highway in Canton.
