Cone With A Cop 3 Coming Aug. 10 In Lakewood
It's not a weird action film sponsored by the ice cream industry. It's your chance to meet neighborhood cops and eat a delicious treat.
LAKEWOOD, OH — The third "Cone with a Cop" event will be held Aug. 10 at the Sweet Spot, 17806 Detroit Ave. The event will run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Discounts will be offered on single and double scoop ice creams during the event.
The "Cone with a Cop" series is nearly the twin of its coffee-based sibling. Attendees can meet their ward officers and chat about anything. There's no pre-set agenda or approved questions. If you want to talk basketball, talk basketball. Want to talk about the use of lethal force in law enforcement? You can do that too.
The main difference between the two events is that "Cone with a Cop" will be held in the early evening hours, due to the slate of summer events being held around Lakewood. Plus, the dusky waning moments of a day aren't always ideal for coffee. (Subscribe to the Patch Lakewood newsletter for local news and updates.)

"The idea is to help to strengthen the relationship between residents and the city’s police officers, and also help a business out in the process,” said Angela Ortiz, the Ward 2 neighborhood police officer and one of the organizers of the monthly event, in a statement in June.
