Coffee With a Cop

On Thursday, Jan. 18, the Santa Clara Police Department held its Coffee With a Cop event at Starbucks (2221 Alameda) in Santa Clara.  The purpose of Coffee With a Cop is to help bring police officers and members of the community together to discuss issues and learn more about each other, over a convivial of coffee.  During the 90-minute event, several members of the Santa Clara Police Department were available to talk with community members.  The event takes the pressure off of meeting a police officer on the street or, perhaps, while behind the wheel of one’s car.  The friendly environment offers a stress-free way to get to know police officers.  Here Sergeant Tyson Shearer (left) talks with the Chief Operating Officer for the City of Santa Clara Walter Rossmann.
