Wanna Have a Cup of Joe with a Cop?

Deputies will be standing by to field your questions next week at Ellie's Table.

If you could sit down with a cop and over a cup of coffee, ask him anything you’d like, what would it be?

You’ll have that chance in a week, when San Clemente hosts “Coffee with a Cop” from 8 to 10 a.m. Feb. 12 at Ellie’s Table, located in North Beach at 120 West Avenida Pico.

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 they serve, according to a San Clemente press release.

So as much as you want to hang out with a cop, don’t linger.
