Evansville Police Announce 2024 Coffee with a Cop Dates and Locations

For over 10 years, the Evansville Police Department (EPD) has invited you to join them for a cup of coffee, a donut or two (or three or four), and a good conversation during Coffee with a Cop every month. That tradition will continue every month throughout 2024 at various breakfast/coffee shop locations around the city.

What is Coffee with a Cop?

If you've never been, the concept is pretty simple. It's a chance for you to chat with EPD officers about whatever is on your mind for a couple of hours before you head to work for the day. The conversation can be anything you want it to be. Notice something a little off in your neighborhood that you'd like the police to keep an eye on? This is an opportunity to let them know. Maybe you simply want to know if they're binge-watching the same show you are, or what they think about a particular sports team. The possibilities are only limited by your mind and give you the chance to get to know the men and women behind the badge who have dedicated their lives to keeping us safe. Officers who usually stop by include Special Events Coordinator Taylor Merriss, who joins us in studio every Tuesday, Assistant Police Chief Phil Smith, and Chief Billy Bolin himself. The Mayor has been known to stop by a time or two, and members of the Evansville City Council regularly stop by as well.

2023 marked the addition of the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office who regularly had deputies stop by, along with Sheriff Noah Robinson.

Oh, and we'll also be broadcasting on-site live each month too if that sways you in any way.
