Coffee With a Cop gets an encore

Coffee With a Cop is back by popular demand.

After a successful series of events in January, the Kelowna RCMP will host another four community engagement events in April.

Coffee With a Cop events allow members of the public to ask a police officer questions and find out more about local policing at a local coffee shop.

Beginning on Monday, April 3, RCMP will visit four different locations and the public is encouraged to join and ask any question they want.

Const. Mike Della-Paolera said the purpose of Coffee with a Cop is to break down the barriers between police officers and members of the public and enjoy a delicious coffee.

“It was a great experience in January,” Della-Paolera, media relations officer, said. “Several people came to speak with our team members during the Coffee with a Cop events in January and we are looking forward with talking to even more people this time around.”

In April, Coffee with a Cop will be hosted at the following locations:

Monday April 3 – UBC Okanagan campus – Courtyard outside – 9:30 a.m.-11:00 a.m.

Thursday April 13 – 350 Bakehouse Café – 567 Bernard Avenue – 9:30 a.m.-11:00 a.m.

Thursday April 20 – Kekuli Cafe – 3550 Carrington Rd #307, West Kelowna – 9:30 a.m.-11:00 a.m.

Thursday April 27 – Downtown Kelowna Library – 1380 Ellis Street – 9:30 a.m.-11:00 a.m.

Attendees don’t have to purchase a coffee to speak to a RCMP officer.
