Coffee with a Cop conversations continue with three scheduled for the next two weeks

Two of six opportunities remain this month for West Hawaiʻi residents to get to know their district police officers. 

As part of their ongoing community outreach to listen to community members, the Hawai‘i Police Department scheduled six Coffee With a Cop events in February from from Hāwī to Kona.

The last two events with Area II Community Policing officers are scheduled for:

• 8 to 10 a.m. Feb. 21 at Kona Coffee & Tea, 74-5588 Palani Road, in Kailua-Kona.
• 8 to 10 a.m. Feb. 27 at Island Gourmet Market in Queens’ Marketplace, 69-0201 Waikōloa Beach Drive, in Waikōloa.

These popular events are intentionally informal with no agenda. Topics of conversation can range from sharing personal stories to discussing neighborhood issues.

East Hawaiʻi residents are invited to meet and talk story with Puna Community Policing Officers during another Coffee with a Cop event from 8 to 9:30 a.m. March 1 at the Hawaiian Paradise Park Community Center, located at 15-1570 Maku‘u Drive, in Keaʻau.

Contact the Community Policing Sections in Kona at 808-326-4646, extentions 257, 258 or 259, or in Puna at 808-965-2716 with any questions.
