Ventura County First Responders invites the community to come out and ask questions, voice concerns, get crime prevention advice, and get to know the First Responders in your neighborhood. This is a relaxed, informal event and is not about speeches or agendas, but simply about casual conversation. The goal of Coffee with the Badges is to engage our community, discuss concerns and raise awareness for mental health. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office and Ojai Police Department are committed to increasing and strengthening community partnerships and utilizing technologies and evidence-based practices to enhance collaborative efforts at reducing crime and improving public safety of all residents.
