Have concerns about specific crime and safety issues in the neighborhood, or simply want to get to know the men and women tasked with keeping the peace in and around the Tenderloin?

From 7-9am tomorrow, a few Tenderloin station officers will be hanging out at Philz Coffee (399 Golden Gate Ave.) with hopes of building deeper relationships with members of the community.

The event is part of a national initiative called "Coffee with a Cop."

“As part of our ongoing efforts to make effective changes, it is important to us to learn more about the concerns and issues our residents have regarding their police department,” SFPD Chief Greg Suhr said of the event in a press release issued this evening. “By interacting one-on-one, our goal is to not only listen to our community, but more importantly, to get to know each other to build lasting relationships.”
