 Special invitation – Join Us for a Coffee with a Cop Day Announcement
 

Coffee with a Cop Community,

We are constantly amazed to see so many Police Departments across the country stay committed in getting out to your respective communities with CwC (in person and virtual) events. It is truly inspiring to see so many of you working hard in "staying the course" with community policing programs. Thank you for your dedication and commitment.

We are reaching out to share a very special invitation. Our mission continues to grow, and while many in-person events have been postponed, we invite you to join us in a virtual celebration of National Coffee with a Cop Day on October 6th at 1 p.m. ET. Our partners at CARFAX for Police are hosting, and we’ll share how we’re evolving to help everyone build better community policing practices.

Also as part of the celebration, CARFAX for Police and Coffee with a Cop will be announcing some news about how our partnership is growing, which will enable us to expand our trainings and reach more officers at a time when building stronger community relationships is essential.

While much of the world has gone virtual, law enforcement remains on the front lines. The teams at Coffee with a Cop and CARFAX for Police are here to support you every step of the way. We hope you’ll take 20 minutes to pull up your Zoom, grab a cup of coffee, and join us on October 6th!

Stay safe,
Mike Ishii, Chief of Police, Hawthorne, CA
Chris Cognac, Sergeant (retired), Hawthorne, CA
