Lexington residents have “Coffee with Cops”

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Local residents received a chance to grab a cup of coffee with members of the Lexington Police Department on Thursday morning.

The public was invited to join officers for “Coffee with Cops” at North Lime Coffee and Donuts on North Limestone.

Citizens had an opportunity to speak one-on-one with officers about issues affecting their communities and Lexington at-large.

“People see the uniform, the badge, and they forget we’re members of the community as well,” says Jonathon Wilson, with the Lexington police Department. “We’re people, just like everybody else.”

ABC36’s Fadia Patterson was at the event, and will have a full report on our News at 5:30.
