Get Coffee With Lakewood Police On March 6

LAKEWOOD, OH — Lakewood police will again take part in the national "Coffee with a Cop" movement on Friday, March 6. The upcoming event will be held at Starbucks, 15027 Detroit Avenue.

Coffee with a Cop will run from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. Coffee isn't free, but participating officers will have tokens to give away to residents who stop by.

"This will hopefully help to strengthen the relationship between residents and the police, and also help a business out in the process," the city said on its website.

Members of Lakewood police will be at the coffee shop to chat with residents. There are no speeches or agendas. Residents can ask anything they want of police or simply spend time with the officers.

"Coffee with a Cop," is a national movement and police departments across the nation participate. In previous summers, Lakewood police have switched to "Cone with a Cop," giving residents a chance to eat ice cream during the hot summer days.
