Altadena Captain Meets With Community Over Coffee

Residents brought their concerns and questions for Altadena Sheriff’s Station Captain John Benedict and staff Monday at the most recent Coffee With the Captain.

The recurring event welcomes the public to meet at a coffee shop, in this case Cafe Culture near the corner of Altadena Drive and Washington Boulevard, and discuss community issues.

“The discussion lasted for over two hours as the group talked about neighborhood watch, community emergency response teams, crime trends, signing up for NIXLE, and future Altadena Sheriff's Station events,” the station shared in a release.

“Captain Benedict has enjoyed meeting members of the community at these events. He finds these events an excellent opportunity to continue building on existing partnerships with the community and is very interested in hearing any questions or concerns anyone may have. These events help Captain Benedict and the Altadena Sheriff's Station in identifying and prioritizing issues occurring in the community.”

Any local business interested in hosting a "Coffee with the Captain" can call the Altadena Sheriff's Station and ask for Community Relations Sergeant Matthew Bossier or Deputy Michael Spina. 

The community can continue to stay in touch with the Altadena Sheriff’s Station and Captain via twitter and facebook.
