The campaign, which was held under the theme ‘Coffee with a Cop’, was held in the form of an exhibition where the police interacted with the community and offered them free coffee while at the same time addressing issues of safety, certifying documents and affidavits for members of the public. The event went well, with community members applauding the work done by the police and giving input on how the police can best improve their service. The station confirmed that it will continue these campaigns in order to make sure that the Douglasdale community are and feel safe.
