GIPPSLAND Centre Sale and Sale Police are teaming up to host Coffee with a Cop on Thursday, May 4.
Centre manager Emma Waghorne said the initiative helped those in the community get to know their local police.
“Coffee with a Cop provides the opportunity for community members to build relationships with their local police officers, discuss what’s going on in their neighbourhood, ask questions they may have about the law or policing, or just have a chat about what’s on their mind,” she said.
“The first 20 community members to attend we will shout a free coffee.
“Gippsland Centre are actively working with local police to ensure they have a visible presence in our centre.
“We strongly support local policing initiatives and will be providing further opportunities for the police and community to come together as they year progresses.
“We are very grateful for the support that Sale Police give to our centre in addressing anti-social behaviour and theft in the centre.
“The work that they do in our community cannot be underestimated, I encourage the community to join this event and show support for Sale Police”.
All in the community are invited to meet with Sale Police at 10am on Thursday, May 4 in centre court, Gippsland Centre Sale.
