Community members will have the opportunity to meet Manhattan Beach Police Department officers and staff during "Coffee with a Cop" this Friday, Oct. 7 from 8 to 11 a.m. at McDonald’s, 1203 Artesia Boulevard.

The event is a community-based program designed to bring residents and police officers together for a casual meet-and-greet. MBPD officers from the detective, records, patrol and traffic divisions will be on hand to answer questions and hang out. Animal control officers will also be present.

MBPD hopes to field questions from children and adults so feel free to bring the kids.
