 A new community outreach program by the Golden Valley Police Department will debut on Thursday, February 20, from 3–5 pm, at Byerlys, 5725 Duluth St.
Coffee With A Cop encourages citizens to become familiar with the officers who serve their community, ask questions, and express concerns.
Every other month, one or two of our officers will host a Coffee With A Cop gathering at a public location in town. Days of the week and times will vary to ensure a good mix of scheduling.
There will be no formal presentations—neighbors are invited to drop in any time during the two-hour gathering to chat with an officer and other staff. Community members can discuss and learn about neighborhood issues, traffic concerns, crime prevention, and how to connect with the GVPD through social media and other technological tools.
ATTENTION: Residents Near Brookview Park
The West Metro SWAT team will be conducting training exercise at the Brookview Golf Course on Wednesday, January 22, 2014 from 6:00 – 10:30 PM.
During this time, you may see an increased presence of law enforcement officers and vehicles in the location of Brookview Park and Golf Course. No weapons or simulation weapons will be fired during this time as it is a search exercise only.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Commander Nate Gove at 763-593-8071.
