Police In This Bay Area City Will Address Public Safety, Neighborhood Concerns

FREMONT, CA — Like many police agencies around the country, Fremont hosts Coffee with a Cop events and have announced their next one will be June 11.

From 11 a.m. to noon on June 11, at Philz Coffee located at 39000 Paseo Padre Pkwy, locals can come sip a cup of joe and speak to police officers in the Fremont Police Department.

Officers and command staff will be available to answer questions about neighborhood concerns or public safety.

“If you’ve never been to a Coffee with a Cop event before, this is a great opportunity to get to know our department in an informal and friendly setting,” police said.

Launched in Hawthorne, CA in 2011, Coffee with a Cop is intended to provide a way for police to connect with the community outside of crisis situations. Police say the aim is to build trust amidst changing demographics and communication methods. This community policing program is now in all 50 states and has expanded internationally.
