Opportunity to Meet Your Officers: Community Invited to Coffee with a Cop SANTA FE, N.M. – Members of the Santa Fe Police Department invite residents to come together for casual conversation to discuss community issues, build relationships, and further open lines of communication between Santa Fe Police and the people we serve. Coffee with a Cop will be held Wednesday, October 29th from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. at C.G. Higgins (130 Lincoln Street – Near the Plaza). FREE Coffee will be provided by C.G. Higgins. “This is a perfect opportunity to get to know officers individually, learn about their interests, talents and the reasons they choose to serve Santa Fe,” Santa Fe Police Chief Eric Garcia said. “It is also an opportune time to ask questions about the department’s tactics, bring forward problems in certain neighborhoods or simply learn more about our operating procedures.” Santa Fe Police Chief Eric Garcia will be on hand along with members of his command staff, members of the department’s Traffic Unit, Investigations Division, SWAT Team and Police Community Relations Division. The majority of the public’s contact with law enforcement happens during emergencies or emotional situations. Those situations are not always the most effective times for relationship building with the community and some community members may feel that officers are unapproachable on the street. Coffee with a Cop breaks down barriers and allows for relaxed, one-on-one interactions. Coffee with a Cop is a national initiative supported by The United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. The program aims to advance the practice of community policing and further improve relationships between police officers and residents one cup of coffee at a time.. Please contact Lt. Sean Strahon with questions: (505) 955-5007 or [email protected] or Public Information Officer Celina Espinoza at (505) 955-5075, [email protected]. Future dates and locations will be announced each month! (photos are from previous event held on 9/18/14) ###
