In keeping with their initiative to forge stronger community ties, the Lewisville Police Department is rolling out the welcome mat for a candid exchange over steaming cups of brew during their forthcoming Coffee with Cops event, a regular staple designed for informal chats between officers and residents. According to a social media post from the Lewisville Police Department, these events function as a platform for relationship building, open dialogue, and dissemination of information regarding police services, local projects, and recruitment drives.
Locations for previous gatherings have included a smattering of local hangouts - from the Korner Cafe to Einstein Bros. Bagels, Lewisville High School, and more, showcasing an aggregated effort to meet community members across varied neighborhoods and backdrop, a stirring concept meant to invite candid dialogue in neutral territories. As per a Facebook post, the department is currently seeking suggestions for their next venue, the rightful host earning a special shoutout on the department’s social media channels; a nod to local establishments and public spaces that serve as willing harbors for these community-police interactions.
Business owners, apartment complex managers, and event planners in the Lewisville area who are interested in facilitating this event are encouraged to reach out for partnership opportunities. The department’s point of contact for the initiative is listed as their PIO, who can be reached via email at [email protected]. Recommendations for potential locations are also being solicited through comments on the Lewisville PD’s Facebook page.
