Narrative:
The Thousand Oaks Police Department is proud to host “Coffee with a Cop” day. Coffee with a Cop allows deputies and community members to connect over coffee, discuss issues, and learn more about the resources, services, and needs within the community.
Join us on Wednesday, October 1st, from 9:00 am to 11:00 am at McDonald’s, 1908 E. Ave. De Los Arboles, Thousand Oaks, for a cup of coffee with neighbors. This month, the East County Investigations Bureau will be joining us with a special appearance by their team of detectives. Community members will have a unique opportunity to meet and engage with the investigators who play a vital role in solving complex cases and ensuring public safety throughout the East County area. Their presence offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the work they do, serving as a chance for open dialogue, questions, and community connection.
Community trust and transparency are some of the key elements to the success of the Thousand Oaks Police Department. By sitting down and having a simple conversation, deputies and the community members they serve can continue to build and grow together. The Thousand Oaks Police Department invites the community to come out, ask questions, voice concerns, receive crime prevention advice, and get to know the officers in your neighborhood. This is a relaxed, informal event, not about speeches or agendas, but rather about casual conversation. The goal of Coffee with a Cop is to get to know the community better and hear about issues the residents feel are important.
Building relationships – one cup at a time.
