Public invited to 7 Coffee With a Cop events in West Hawai‘i during July

Hawai‘i Police Department is hosting seven Coffee With a Cop events in West Hawai‘i — from Keauhou to Kapaʻau — during July as part of its ongoing efforts to reach out to community members and, in turn, a chance for the public to get to know the police officers who protect and serve their communities.

Intentionally informal with no agenda, anyone can stop by for a cup of coffee or other favorite drink on the menu at the host venue during these popular events that garner conversation topics ranging from sharing personal stories to discussing neighborhood issues.
