Next Coffee with a Cop Event Saturday, January 20

East Hartford Community Spirit continues in 2018. The East Hartford Police Department is inviting everyone to take a break on this winter weekend, and warm up with a cup of coffee. Join them for Coffee With A Cop on Saturday, January 20th from 8:00 to 10:00 AM at Dunkin’ Donuts on Burnside Avenue in East Hartford.

Since 2016, the East Hartford Police Department has hosted a regular program designed to bring police officers and the community members they serve together – over coffee – to discuss issues and learn more about each other. No agenda, no speeches. Talk with police about your neighborhood, ask questions, share concerns, or stop by just to chat.

"Events like this provide access and opportunity for distraction-free conversations between East Hartford Police Officers and folks within the community we serve," said Police Chief Scott Sansom. "If you have a few moments, stop by and treat yourself to a break with a cup of coffee and a friendly chat," Sansom added.

The Coffee With A Cop program is recognized on a national level for building community trust. In a short time, Citizens and police officers get to know each other and discover mutual goals for the communities they live in and serve. Chief Sansom and the East Hartford Police Department encourage everyone to stop by.

The next East Hartford Police Coffee with a Cop takes place from 08:00AM to 10:00AM on Saturday, January 20th at Dunkin’ Donuts, 1083 Burnside Avenue, East Hartford, Connecticut. All are welcome.
