On Tuesday, Jan. 19, deputies from the Archuleta County Sheriff’s Department and community members will come together in an informal, neutral space to discuss community issues, build relationships and drink coffee.
All community members are invited to attend. The event begins at 11 a.m. on Jan. 19 at TARA Community Center, 333 Milton Lane, Arboles. Please contact Mike Le Roux with questions at 731-4799 or mleroux@archuletacounty.org.
Coffee with a Cop provides a unique opportunity for community members to ask questions and learn more about the department’s work in Archuleta County.
The majority of contacts law enforcement has with the public happen during emergencies or emotional situations. Those situations are not always the most effective times for relationship building with the community and some community members may feel that deputies are unapproachable on the street. Coffee with a Cop breaks down barriers and allows for a relaxed, one-on-one interaction.
