Lake Zurich, Hawthorn Woods and Kildeer host ‘Coffee with a Cop’ Oct. 7

Officers from the Lake Zurich, Hawthorn Woods and Kildeer police departments will join community members in an informal, neutra space to discuss community issues during a “Coffee with a Cop” event on Wednesday, Oct. 7.

The event will take place from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at Starbucks, 97 Roman Lane in Hawthorn Woods.

Coffee with a Cop provides an opportunity for community members to ask questions and learn more about each police department. The event aims to break down barriers and allow for relaxed, one-on-one interaction.

“We hope that community members will feel comfortable to ask questions, bring concerns, or simply get to know our officers,” Lake Zurich Police Chief Steve Husak said in a news release. “These interactions are the foundation of community partnerships.”
