Coffee With a Cop Returns Thursday

On Thursday, officers from the Bozeman Police Department and community members will come together in an informal, neutral space to discuss community issues, build relationships, and drink coffee.

All community members are invited to attend.  The event will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 am on September 17th at Lindley Perk, located in the Bozeman Public Library.

Coffee with a Cop provides a unique opportunity for community members to ask questions and learn more about the department’s work in Bozeman’s 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.
