Coffee With A Cop Set For April 20 in Canton

The next event will be on April 20, 8-10 a.m. Code Enforcement Officers Officer Butler, Officer Parker will be there educating the public.

From Canton Police: The Police Department’s next Coffee with a Cop community event will be held on Thursday, April 20, 2017 from 8:00 - 10:00 am., at the Dunkin' Donuts located at 121 Marietta Highway, Canton, Ga. This month’s Coffee with a Cop will include our Code Enforcement Officers, Officer Butler and Officer Parker, with the purpose of educating the community on daily Code Enforcement obligations and issues. Coffee with a Cop is an excellent program that continues to allow Officers and citizens to connect, engage and build important trusting relationships that are vital to improving the quality of life for everyone in the community.

Chief Mark J. Mitchell stated, “We strongly believe Coffee with a Cop has become one of the most important monthly programs that we are involved in that is essential to us connecting with the citizens we serve. Given the current tense environment in our nation between communities and law enforcement, we feel this program helps to build a foundation of trust with each segment of our community and continues to grow a very positive culture between our hard-working department and this great city.

“I want to thank our citizens for their support and feedback which greatly assists us in providing better police services and “humanizes the badge” to both adults and children. Our hope is that our citizens will see that we truly care about them, their quality of life, their safety and what goes on in our city,” the Chief continued.
