October 3rd is National Coffee with a Cop day!

Come meet and talk with your local Yonkers Police Officers and neighbors over a cup of coffee at the McLean Corner Cafe - 925 McLean Avenue - Wednesday, October 3rd, from 9 AM to 11 AM!

Coffee with A Cop was launched by the Hawthorne (California) Police Department in 2011. Members of the HPD were looking for ways to interact more successfully with the citizens they served each day, and hit upon a simple plan to break through the barriers that have been built over the years - a cup of coffee. In less than five years, Coffee with a Cop events have been hosted in all 50 states and is one of the most successful community oriented policing programs across the country. The program has also expanded to outside the Unites States to Canada, Europe, Australia, Africa, and Latin America. The key to Coffee with a Cop’s growing success is that it opens the door for interactions outside of the crisis situations that typically bring law enforcement officers and community members together. The Yonkers Police Department is proud to include Coffee with a Cop as part of our many community outreach programs.
