Police Officers are offering residents the chance to have a chat with their local officer about concerns within their neighbourhood over a brew.
The project has been funded by North Yorkshire Council (NYC) and will see Police and NYC’s Community Safety Officers coming together within community cafes to engage with members of the community who may not generally attend drop-in events.
It also allows the public to find out what the Community Safety Hub are doing to tackle issues in the local area.
The project will begin in Scarborough, with expectations to spread across the Yorkshire Coast to Whitby, Filey and Eastfield.
‘Cuppa with a Copper’ is already being used in other forces, such as Derbyshire Police, Essex Police and Kent Police, with positive engagement work within their communities.
PCSO Dan Andrews has brought the project to Scarborough and has been working with Senior Community Safety Officer Rhian Buglass from NYC to promote partnership working, as it is expected that the project will develop into a multi-agency engagement.
PCSO Andrews said.
“We want to reach out to those in our community who don’t necessarily want to come to some of our more public events. ‘Cuppa with a Copper’ will allow a more relaxed atmosphere, over a brew, in an informal setting.”
The launch events will take place:
- Cockleshells Café at St James with Holy Trinity Church, Seamer Road – Tuesday 3 December 2024 11:30am – 12:30pm
- Westborough Church – Thursday 5 December 2024 1:00pm – 2:00pm.
