Upper Macungie Police Invite Residents For Coffee

Upper Macungie Police want to have you over for coffee.

The township is hosting Coffee With a Cop, a community policing program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice, Tuesday, Nov. 19 at the new Subway in Fogelsville.

"It is absolutely an essential part of effective community policing- a shared bond between the police department and the residents they serve,” Sergeant Peter Nickischer, head of the Community Relations Division of the department, said in a news release.

The idea is to give residents a chance to ask questions and discuss issues in a neutral setting, police said.

The event runs from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Free coffee and pastries will be provided.
