Coffee with a Cop event coming to Easton

On October 28, The Easton Police Department, partnered with The Talbot County Free Library, will be hosting a “Coffee with a Cop” event from 10AM – 12PM.

The event will be held at the Talbot County Free Library at 100 West Dover Street in Easton.

Police officials say that the purpose of this event is to give residents a chance to meet their local law enforcement officers, ask questions, voice concerns, and learn more about the Easton Police Department.

This community outreach initiative is intentionally informal so that citizens can feel comfortable talking about issues such as criminal activity, crime prevention, and relationships with local police personnel.

Officials say that the goal is for the police officers to build relationships with residents, which will hopefully result in more positive interactions and a willingness to work together to prevent crime.

“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 held across the country, as local police departments are working to make lasting connections with the communities they serve.
