CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) -The Clarksville Police Department is partnering with Chick-Fil-A to bring together members of the community and officers in an informal environment to learn more about each other in a relaxed, one-on-one conversation.
“Oftentimes, the majority of contact between the public and law enforcement are during emergencies or very emotional situations, which do not provide a good opportunity for relationship building,” Public Information Officer Jim Knoll said. “Coffee with a Cop removes the barrier of the badge and radio and allows citizens to meet the officer as a n individual and get a better, more personal feel for the officer who serves and lives in their community.”
Coffee with a Cop is a national initiative supported by the U.S. Dept. of Justice.
A free cup of coffee and conversation with CPD officers wil lbe served Saturday, July 15 from 9-10 a.m. at Chick-Fil-A (1626 Madison Street).
