On Saturday, November 8th, the Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) will be holding its popular “Coffee With Cops” event. The event is designed to foster open communication between police officers and the citizens they serve.
This is a key component of the OCPD’s Community Policing Unit efforts, offering a distraction-free, informal setting to discuss any questions, thoughts, or concerns about local policing and neighborhood issues. The event is co-sponsored by the library, ensuring a welcoming environment with free refreshments.
