Share Coffee with a Cop on Valentine's Day!
Community Spirit in East Hartford continues in 2019. The East Hartford Police Department is inviting everyone to take a moment this Valentine’s Day to warm up with a cup of coffee and conversation. Join them for Coffee With A Cop on Thursday, February 14th from 8:00 to 10:00 AM at Dunkin’ Donuts on 303 Ellington Road in East Hartford.
“Events like this provide access and opportunity for distraction-free conversations between East Hartford Police Officers and the community they serve,” said Mayor Marcia A. Leclerc. “I invite you to stop by this wonderful community event on Valentine’s Day and share a cup of coffee with your local officers.”
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.
“If you have a few moments, stop by and treat yourself to a break with a cup of coffee and a friendly chat,” Chief Scott Sansom said.
The Coffee With A Cop program is now recognized worldwide for building community trust and partnership. 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.
