Police Departments Team Up For Coffee With A Cop

CANTON, GA -- The Canton Police Department has been hosting its Coffee with a Cop events at various locations around the city.

Now, it's inviting public safety agencies from surrounding jurisdictions to join in on the community fun.

The next installment of Coffee with a Cop will be a multi-agency affair, featuring officials from the Cherokee Sheriff's Office, Cherokee Marshal's Office, Cherokee Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad, the police departments of Woodstock, Holly Springs and Ball Ground, the Cherokee County district attorney and solicitor general's offices and the Georgia State Patrol.

The event will be held from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Friday, March 24 at Cup Up Coffee at 210 East Main Street in downtown Canton.

The March 24 event is fitting, as all law enforcement agencies in the county "strongly feel that community events such as this are essential to us connecting and engaging with the citizens we serve," said Canton Police Chief Mark Mitchell.

"We also believe this program will help to build a foundation of trust with each segment of our communities and will grow a very positive culture between our hard working departments and this great county," he added.

Mitchell once again thanked the citizens for their support and feedback, which helps the department in providing better services to the public.

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