COFFEE WASN’T THE POINT. THE CONVERSATION WAS.
From the Brockton Council on Aging this morning to Starbucks on Belmont Street this afternoon, Coffee with a Cop gave officers and residents a chance to talk, listen, laugh, and connect.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by, and to both locations for welcoming us.
As we mark #CommunityPolicingWeek, today was a pretty good reminder of what it’s all about.
That’s community policing.
