Get to know the Parsippany Police Department Over a Cup of Coffee

The Parsippany Police Department wants to get to know you over a cup of coffee at Coffee with a Cop on Sept. 14.

Coffee with a Cop is a casual, relaxed way for the community to socialize with their police officers and vice versa. Residents can ask questions, voice concerns, or simply chat with police officers over free coffee and snacks.

Coffee with a Cop is a national program created by Hawthorne Police Department in California that's strived to close the gap between police officers and the community they serve since 2011. Coffee with a Cop has been hosted in all fifty states and has even expanded to Canada, Europe, Africa, and Australia.

"Coffee with a Cop is on a mission to improve trust and build relationships - one cup of coffee at a time," their website states.

Coffee with a Cop will be from 1o a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Boiling Springs Bank on N. Beverwyck Rd.
