Clermont Police continue to build community relations one cup of coffee at a time. The Clermont Police Department will host the next Coffee with a Cop event from 9:00-11:00 a.m. Wednesday, January 18th at Papa’s Diner located at 626 Highway 50 in Clermont.
Coffee with a Cop is a nationwide program that reinforces good relationships between the community and its local law enforcement agency.
The Clermont Police Department invites the community out to strengthen this cause. The public will get to talk with our local Clermont Police Officers and ask questions, voice their concerns and get to know the officers that patrol their neighborhoods. Coffee with a Cop is an opportunity for citizens to meet police officers in a relaxed, neutral atmosphere with no speeches, no agenda and no preset subjects. It allows them to spend time, one-on-one, with an officer who works in the community where they live and discuss whatever concerns are important to them. The conversation is intimate and personal, equally important to the citizen and officer. “As always, we welcome the opportunity to sit down and have a conversation with our Clermont citizens,” Chief Charles Broadway said. “Partnerships such as this helps create an atmosphere that facilitates effective communication by breaking down perceived barriers that so often exist between police officers and the citizens whom they serve.” Come on by and say hello to your local police officers. The Clermont Police Department looks forward to meeting you.
