The Citrus Heights Police Department is inviting community members to stop by for its “Coffee with a Cop” event, this Thursday morning, Nov. 12.
Coffee with a Cop offers a chance for coffee and conversation between community members and local law enforcement officials in a casual atmosphere. The event is slated to take place at Starbucks inside the Target at the Birdcage shopping center from 9 to 11 a.m. on Thursday.
Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with Police Department command staff, patrol officers, Problem-Oriented Policing detectives, dispatchers and community service officers.
Representatives from the department’s Co-Responsive Crisis Intervention Team, Adult and Child Protective Services social workers, WEAVE, the Police Activities League and other community partners are also expected to attend, organizers say.
The department said the event is intended to encourage conversations between residents and law enforcement, build relationships and provide an opportunity for community members to share feedback outside of traditional interactions involving calls for service or law enforcement matters.
“Coffee with a Cop breaks down barriers and builds relationships, one conversation at a time,” the department said in its invitation.
Residents are welcome to stop by, ask questions and meet some of the people and organizations working to support the Citrus Heights community.
Target at Birdcage is located at 5837 Sunrise Blvd.
