Law enforcement staff and community members get together for Coffee with a Cop events all over the country, just like I.U.P.A. Local #229 and I.U.P.A. Local #133 Members did recently!

Terre Haute, I.U.P.A. Local #133 Members sat down and had some fun with some elementary school kids at Sugar Creek Elementary. The cops had coffee. The kids had juice. The cops and the kids had great snacks, conversations, and the kids made police-inspired artwork.

Terre Haute Police Department shared about it on social media, “Big thanks to Sugar Creek Consolidated Elementary for hosting Coffee with a Cop! Great coffee, even better company, and thankfully no one got sent to the principal’s office!”

Bel Air Police Association, I.U.P.A. Local #229 Members met with community members at Z Vault Cafe and Gelato for some morning caffeine and good company.

Bel Air Police Department shared about on it on social media, “Coffee, community, and a great turnout Z Vault! Thank you to Z Vault Cafe & Gelato for hosting our Coffee with a Cop event and making everyone feel welcome. A great cup of coffee makes any morning better, and Z Vault definitely delivered on both the coffee and hospitality.”

They continued, “We had a great time catching up with familiar faces, meeting new people, and walking away a little more caffeinated than we arrived. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and spent part of their morning with us. We’re fortunate to serve a community that continues to show up and support events like this. Now, after seeing how good that gelato looked, we may need to start planning the next event. Gelato with a Cop, anyone?”

National Coffee with a Cop Day is on October 7, but events are held all times of the year for this fun way for LEOs to build bridges and relationships with the communities they serve.
