As part of its ongoing community outreach to listen to community members, the Hawaii Police Department is holding six “Coffee With a Cop” events in West Hawaii this month in order for the public to get to know their district police officers.
These popular events are intentionally informal with no agenda. Topics of conversation can range from sharing personal stories to discussing neighborhood issues.
Stop by and get to know your district and Community Policing Officers over a cup of coffee.

— Wednesday, March 12, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., at Kona Heaven Coffee, in the Coconut Grove Shopping Center, 75-5805 Ali‘i Drive, Kailua-Kona.
