MPD will be holding our next "Coffee With a Cop" event on Saturday, 20 June 2015 at 1 PM at the Vermont Historical Society Museum in The Pavilion office building at 109 State Street.
What is "Coffee with a Cop" you ask?
It’s a simple concept. Police and community members come together in an informal, neutral space to discuss community issues, build relationships, and drink coffee.
In over 175 cities and towns in 36 states, "Coffee with a Cop" has done wonders for community trust, police legitimacy, and partnership building.
Community members come to a local "Coffee with a Cop" for a variety of reasons, but no matter why they are likely to leave with a more positive impression of their local law enforcement agency.
One of the keys to "Coffee with a Cop’s" success is that it removes the physical barriers and crisis situations that routinely define interactions between law enforcement officials and community members. Instead it allows for relaxed, informal one-on-one interactions in a friendly atmosphere. This informal contact increases trust in police officers as individuals which is foundation to building partnerships and engaging in community problem solving.
Green Mountain Coffee has been kind enough to donate coffee for this event.
We'll see you there!
