Coffee With a Cop

at Sacks on the Beach

on Valentine’s Day

Share some love, and coffee, with officers from Redondo Beach Police Department on Wednesday, Feb. 14, from 8 to 10 a.m. during the latest edition of RBPD’s ongoing Coffee With a Cop series. Coffee With a Cop aims to bring police together with members of the community in a friendly, informal environment to discuss community issues, build relationships and enjoy a good cup of coffee. All community members are invited to attend. The events give residents a chance to interact with police outside of emergencies or emotional situations and ask about RBPD’s work throughout the city.

For further information, email Officer Mike Diehr at mike.diehr@redondo.org, or call 310-379-2477, ext. 2493.
