Have a cup of coffee with a Flower Mound cop Friday morning

The Flower Mound Police Department is inviting residents to have “Coffee with a Cop” on Friday morning.

Coffee with a Cop was started in 2011 in Hawthorne, California because the police department wanted to interact more, and more successfully, with the community. The effort has become a popular event among many police departments across the country, as they look to meet more residents and engage in conversations with them.

“Coffee with a Cop is a great way for the community to get to know members of the Flower Mound Police Department, ask questions, address any concerns, all while enjoying a great cup of coffee,” the department wrote on Facebook this week.

Flower Mound’s “Coffee with a Cop” will be at Trio Craft Coffee, 2650 Flower Mound Road, from 7-8:30 a.m. Friday.
