CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS RESUME TO IN-PERSON BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 14, 2021
PAID
In a casual atmosphere at City Hall, on August 3, community members met with Captain Reyes and deputies from the Sheriff’s Temple Station for coffee for the first in-person event since the COVID closures. The gathering allowed citizens and law enforcement officials to get to know each other and discuss any issues and concerns in their neighborhoods. The majority of contacts law enforcement has with the public happen during emergencies, or emotional situations. Those situations are not always the most effective times for relationship building with the community, and some community members may feel that officers are unapproachable on the street. Coffee with the Captain breaks down barriers and allows for a relaxed, one-on-one interaction.
These events serve as a catalyst for building strong relationships of mutual trust between law enforcement officers and community members and help to maintain public safety and effective policing.
