Easton Police to host Coffee with a Cop event

A local police department is inviting the community to chat with them, over coffee.

The Easton Police Department says they have partnered with Joe’s Bagel Café, to host Coffee with a Cop on Friday, February 19 from 8:00 until 10:00 AM. The event will be held at the Joe’s Bagel Café on Marlboro Avenue.

Organizers say the purpose of this event is to give residents a chance to meet their local law enforcement officers, along with ask questions, voice concerns, and learn more about the department itself. Easton Police are hoping to build relationships with the community, making it easier to interact, and work together to prevent crime, through a more informal atmosphere.

“Coffee with a Cop” is apparently a national initiative supported by the United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. For more information, contact Sgt. Eric Kellner of the Easton Police Department at 410-822-1111 or ekellner@town-eastonmd.com.

Also, Easton Police says they are always looking for a local business to host their next event, for details, contact Sgt. Kellner.
