Coffee with a cop

The Homewood Police Department held its first Coffee with a Cop event in July at Demetri’s BBQ.

The program provided an opportunity for  citizens to get to know Homewood police officers.

“Oftentimes police officers only meet area residents after they have called 911 or are a victim of a crime or in a traffic accident,” Sgt. Andrew Didcoct said. “This was a chance for citizens to ask questions about topics they are concerned about and for officers to get to know the people they help protect.”

The HPD  plans to hold the event every few months at different locations in Homewood.
