LIKE MANY THINGS IT STARTED IN CALIFORNIA

The actual Coffee with a Cop Day 2025 was celebrated this year on October 2nd.
Since it started in 2011 in California Coffee with a Cop meetings or events have helped to build trust and create a sense of community in cities and counties all around the country. It's simply a way police and residents can connect over a cup of coffee. It's growing every year, well beyond from where it began in a McDonald's in Hawthorne, California.

THAT'S A LOT OF COFFEE WITH A COP MEETINGS

It's now held in all 50 states as well as events in 33 nations and 9 languages. Since the first national Coffee with a Cop day in 2016 the idea has grown every year making it a huge event across the nation.
