Coffee with a Cop at Edencrest at Green Meadows - Friday, August 7


Join us for Coffee with a Cop on Friday, August 7 from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at Edencrest at Green Meadows, located at 6750 Corporate Drive. The goal of Coffee with a Cop is for Johnston police officers to get to know you, and for you to get to know our officers. Every month, members of the Johnston Police Department are setting aside time to meet to have a real conversation about issues that matter. Come with specific questions for our officers or just ready to share what is on your mind. In a short time, we hope to get to know you and discover mutual goals that will continue to grow and improve our community.
