Wrightstown Township, Pa - We are excited to announce our next Coffee with a Cop event in order to continue our relationship building with the community. It will be held on August 19, 2021 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Transcend Fitness Club located in The Shops at Carousel Village. Please join us for a cup of coffee and some conversation so we can make this another successful community event!
Coffee with a Cop provides a unique opportunity for community members 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. 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.
