Elk Grove PD Reaches Out to The Community With Coffee With a Cop Sessions

Have you ever wanted to ask a police officer a question, but didn’t know how to go about doing it? Officers from the Elk Grove Police Department’s Problem Oriented Policing Unit will be available to answer law enforcement related questions from members of the community on May 14th, 2010 from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. at It’s A Grind Coffee House (9385 Elk Grove Blvd. and 9620 Bruceville Rd.) as part of the “Coffee with a Cop” program.

The “Coffee with a Cop” program is a unique way to strengthen the partnership between the police department and the community it serves.

“Being able to build relationships within the community is very important,” Elk Grove Police Chief Robert Lehner said. “By providing residents with the opportunity to informally meet with an officer, we believe that the information gathered will be invaluable in identifying and resolving issues within the community.”

Members of the community will be able to ask specific or general questions regarding issues that are affecting their neighborhoods.

This is the second “Coffee with a Cop” event of the year. Additional dates and locations will be posted on the Elk Grove Police Department’s web site (http://www.blogger.com/www.elkgrovepd.org) as they become available.
