Newtown Township Police Hosting 2 'Coffee With A Cop' Events

NEWTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — Police in Newtown Township will host two Coffee with a Cop events. The events are planned for Oct. 3 and Oct. 5.

The Oct. 3 event will be held from 8 to 10:30 a.m. at Corner Bakery Cafe, 3 West Road. The Oct. 6 event will be held from 9 a.m. to noon at the Wrightstown Farmers Market, 2203 Second Street Pike.

The events are an opportunity for residents to ask questions and learn more about the department’s work in both Newtown and Wrightstown Townships neighborhoods.

"The majority of contacts law enforcement has with the public happen during emergencies, or emotional situations. Those situations are not always the most effective times for relationship building with the community and some community members may feel that officers are unapproachable on the street. Coffee with a Cop breaks down barriers and allows for a relaxed, one-on-one interaction," according to an event announcement from Newtown Township Police.

Coffee with a Cop is a national initiative supported by The United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services.
