Woodstock Police Mark National Coffee With A Cop Day

WOODSTOCK, GA — The Woodstock Police Department and other law enforcement agencies will soon observe the third annual National Coffee With a Cop Day by providing you with a chance to meet the men and women behind the badge.

Residents and stakeholders are invited to meet and greet and learn more about the Woodstock officers who protect their communities over a cup of Joe on Wednesday, Oct. 3 at Starbucks at 9529 Highway 92.

National Coffee with a Cop Day will allow officers from law enforcement agencies in all 50 states and five counties and their constituents to come together and learn more about each other.

Coffee with a Cop is intended to promote informal discussions between officers and the citizens they serve. In 2016, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services in the United States Department of Justice established the first Wednesday in October as National Coffee with a Cop Day. Since its inception, this simple yet effective method of bringing police and communities together has been met with broad acceptance nationwide.

Woodstock officers will be on hand to mix and mingle from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Oct. 3 at Starbucks.
