Attention Talega: You Have a Coffee House Date with a Cop

From the city of San Clemente:

San Clemente Police Services invites residents to enjoy “Coffee With A Cop”  from 7-9 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 6 at Peet’s Coffee, located at 801 Avenida Talega.

The entire community is welcome to come together in an informal, neutral space to talk face-to-face about issues in their respective neighborhoods, ask questions, foster relationships with San Clemente’s motor deputies, and enjoy a warm cup of coffee. There is no agenda or speeches.

Mayor Tim Brown, Chief of San Clemente Police Services Dave Moodie, and Capt. John Coppock, former chief of San Clemente Police Services and now overseeing south county operations for the Sheriff’s Department, also plan to attend. 

Coffee with a Cop is a national initiative supported by the United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. Similar events are being held across the country, as local police departments, sheriff’s offices, and state police forces strive to make lasting connections with the communities.

This is the second “Coffee with a Cop” hosted by San Clemente Police Services, with the first such meeting held in North Beach in February and attended by 50 people.
