Palos Park, IL – Residents are invited to connect with local officers during the Palos Park Police Department’s upcoming “Coffee with a Cop” event, scheduled for Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at 11 a.m. at The Plush Horse.
According to the Palos Park Police Department (PPPD), the event offers a casual opportunity for community members to meet officers, discuss local concerns, and share ideas over coffee. The department says the goal is to strengthen communication and build partnerships between police and residents.
The event also marks the unveiling of the department’s 2026 Community Outreach initiatives, which focus on enhancing collaboration, problem-solving, and community involvement. “We are all stakeholders in the community,” PPPD noted in its announcement, emphasizing the need for open dialogue and shared decision-making.
Organizers encourage residents to attend, even if only to chat casually. “Even if it’s just about the weather, it’s a start toward open communication and developing a partnership,” the department said.
Community outreach programs like this are designed to help law enforcement and residents work together on issues ranging from neighborhood safety to youth engagement.
The department hopes that by continuing regular public meetups, they can foster transparency, trust, and a stronger connection with those they serve.
