Grab Coffee With The Ballwin Cops Saturday Morning

You're invited to an informal get-together with members of the Ballwin Police.

Your weekend plans could include an encounter with the police, and that could be a good thing in Ballwin.

As part of a national program supported by the U.S. Justice Department and other agencies, Ballwin Police will set up forΒ Coffee with a Cop at The Wolf,Β 15480 Clayton Road, from 9am-11am Saturday.

Coffee is on the house.

The idea is that people might be in a better position to communicate with authorities about other issuesΒ when they aren't in emergency scenarios themselves.

β€œWe hope that community members will feel comfortable to ask questions, bring concerns, or simply getΒ to know our officers,” said Ballwin Police Chief Steve Schicker in a news release. β€œThese interactions are the foundationΒ of community partnerships.”
