Building and strengthening relationships…one cup at a time

After a two year hiatus, the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP is thrilled to announce that Coffee with a Cop is coming back to the North Okanagan.

Coffee with a Cop is a community policing initiative that aims to improve and strengthen police-public relations by bringing police officers and community members together. The event is part of a broader effort to promote positive interactions between police officers and the communities they serve.

Starting next week and continuing into June, residents will have the opportunity to join us at a local coffee shop where they can sit down with an officer, ask questions, discuss concerns, share what’s on their minds, and enjoy a coffee on us.

We are part of the community and it’s important that our community knows who we are, states Superintendent Shawna Baher, Officer in Charge of the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP. These one-on-one interactions in a relaxed environment let the public and police officers engage in good, honest conversations. They may be brief, but these connections are one of the best ways we can build mutual respect and trust.
