Seniors invited to Coffee with a Cop at Vernon Schubert Centre

Have Coffee with a Cop

Vernon seniors can express their concerns and get to know their local constabulary a little better during Coffee with a Cop.

The seniors-focused event will be held at the Schubert Centre Feb. 22, from 9 to 10:30 a.m.

The community policing initiative aims to improve and strengthen police-public relations by providing an opportunity for the community to connect directly with police officers in an informal setting.

Seniors are invited to sit down, have a cup of coffee, and a one-on-one conversation with an officer from the local detachment.

"We're buying the coffee; you bring the conversation," says Supt. Shawna Baher.

"Connecting with seniors in our community is incredibly important to us. We're hosting this event to hear specifically from our seniors; to give them a chance to share their concerns with us in a relaxed environment where they're comfortable talking about what's on their mind."
