'Coffee With A Cop' Comes To Chester Borough

CHESTER, N.J. – Chester Borough police officers want to know the community they serve, and want the community to know them just as well.

So in 2016, the Chester Borough Police Department will begin a local version of Coffee With A Cop, a national initiative that connects officers with the communities they serve.

“The mission of the program is to bring police officers and the community members they serve together over coffee to discuss issues and learn more about each other,” Chief David Jara said. “This is Chester Borough’s opportunity to get to know your officers, ask questions, and voice concerns.”

Chester will hold two events in January, the first on Wednesday, Jan. 13 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Chester Borough Municipal Hall at 50 North Road. The second will be held at Maria’s Café at 57 Main Street in Chester from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 25.

Anyone with questions or concerns are asked to contact Jara at 908-879-7162 or djara@chesterborough.org.
