Newtown Township Police To Host Coffee With A Cop

Newtown Township Police Department will host a Coffee with a Cop event on Nov. 7.

The event, which provides the community a chance to meet their local officers, will be held from 9 a.m. to noon at the Corner Bakery Cafe, 3 West Rd.

The police department describes the event as an informal opportunity to discuss community issues, build relationships and drink coffee. All residents are invited to attend.

“Coffee with a Cop is a national initiative supported by The United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. Similar events are being held across the country, as local police departments strive to make lasting connections with the communities they serve. The program aims to advance the practice of community policing through improving relationships between police officers and community members one cup of coffee at a time,” Newtown Police said in an event announcement.
