West Hawai‘i community members invited to have Coffee With a Cop

As part of their ongoing community outreach to listen to community members, Hawai‘i Police Department continues to host several Coffee With a Cop events this month in West Hawai‘i — from Mauna Lani to Kealakekua — as part of the department’s ongoing community outreach.

The popular and intentionally informal events have no agenda. District police officers are there to listen to their community members and for the community to get to know them.

Topics of conversation can range from sharing personal stories to discussing neighborhood issues.

Stop by and get to know your district and Community Policing officers with a simple cup of joe — or another of your favorite morning beverages.

• 8 to 10 a.m. today (Nov. 13): Caffé Florian, 81-6637 Māmalahoa Highway, Kealakekua.
• 8 to 10 a.m. Nov. 14: Kona Mountain Coffee Co., 73-4038 Hulikoa Drive, Kailua-Kona.
