Coffee with a Cop Coming Up Next Week With Pinole PD

PINOLE: Pinole Police Department hosts "Coffee with a Cop" on the second Wednesday of each month, join them next week at Peet's Coffee, 2712 Pinole Valley Road, on March 9th, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.

The Pinole Police Department has initiated this program to provide an opportunity for the community to interact and meet the officers working in their area.

Sergeant Matt Avery added, “It's always a wonderful time to take a break and engage the community we serve”. Thank you in advance to all who stop by and say hello.

From the Pinole Police Department:

Community policing is the foundation for establishing relationships between the community and the police. The importance of trust between officers and residents is paramount for a safe community.

Coffee with a Cop is an opportunity for the police and the community members to come together in an informal, neutral environment to discuss community issues and build relationships. One of the keys to Coffee with a Cop's success is that it removes the physical barriers between officers and residents, and happens outside of the crisis situations that routinely define interactions between law enforcement officials and community members. Instead it allows for relaxed, informal one-on-one interactions in a friendly atmosphere.

Coffee with a Cop will be held once a month at locations throughout the City of Pinole on the second Wednesday of the month.

In April, Coffee with a Cop will be held at East Bay Coffee, 2529 San Pablo Avenue.
