Clermont Police continue to build community relations one cup of coffee at a time. The Clermont Police Department will host the next Coffee with a Cop event from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Friday, May 19th at Golden Hills Coffee and Espresso Bar, 793 W Montrose Street in Clermont.
Coffee with a Cop is a nationwide program that reinforces good relationships between the community and its local law enforcement agency. The Clermont Police Department invites the community out to strengthen this cause. The public will get to talk with their local Clermont Police Officers and ask questions, voice their concerns and get to know the officers that patrol their neighborhoods. Coffee with a Cop is an opportunity for citizens to meet police officers in a relaxed, neutral atmosphere with no speeches, no agenda and no preset subjects.
This one-on-one conversation opportunity is equally important to the officer and the citizen. “We always welcome the opportunity to sit down for a conversation with our Clermont citizens when we are not responding to an incident,” Chief Charles Broadway said. “This kind of program helps create an atmosphere that improves communication by breaking down the perceived barriers that often exist between police officers and the citizens we serve.”
The Clermont Police Department looks forward to meeting you so please stop by, say hello to your local police officers and enjoy a refreshing coffee beverage.
