Breaking Down Barriers and Fostering Dialogue

The events take place at different Hy-Vee locations in Davenport, providing an opportunity for residents to join officers for coffee and conversation.

According to Sergeant Andrew Harris, Community Impact Team Supervisor, "It's about having conversations and interacting with our neighbors in meaningful ways, outside of a call for service. We want to have a chance to talk about topics that they find interesting or have questions about."

Making Meaningful Connections Over Coffee
