Community policing has long been considered a framework for establishing trust between the community and the police. Coffee with a Cop events are held in all 50 states and is one of the most successful community oriented policing programs across the country. The key to Coffee with a Cop’s success is that it opens the door for interactions outside of the crisis situations that typically bring law enforcement officers and community members together. Members of the Muscatine Police Department hold multiple Coffee with a Cop events throughout the year at various restaurants in Muscatine. These are great opportunities for the public to bring questions and talk with officers while enjoying a good cup of coffee. Watch our Facebook page for information on our next Coffee with a Cop event!
