Police in Kona to connect with residents over ‘Coffee with a Cop’

As part of law enforcement’s ongoing community outreach efforts, the Hawaiʻi Police Department’s Kona Community Policing Section will host “Coffee with a Cop” on Aug. 27.

The community is invited to attend the event, which runs from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at Café Florian, 81-6637 Hawaii Belt Road, in Kealakekua.

“Coffee with a Cop” encourages community members to get to know their police officers in a casual setting with no agenda. Topics of conversation can range from sharing personal stories to discussing neighborhood issues.

Last month, seven coffee meets were scheduled throughout West Hawai’i from Keauhou to Kapaʻau to help strengthen police and community relations.
