Espresso Your Views on the Community, as South Melbourne Market Invites Locals to Chat with Cops Over Coffee
Sit for a low-key chat with your neighbourhood officers, as this easygoing session is all about community bonding and engagement.
There's never a bad time to have a good yarn about the community with those tasked with looking after it. And on Wednesday, October 15, you'll have the opportunity to speak directly with the men and women in blue.
Held at Canteen Cafe in South Melbourne Market from 10–11am, the Coffee with a Cop initiative is all about coming together for a genuine conversation.

Sit down, sip on a top-notch free coffee and get to know your local officers. Best of all, there are no bookings required or specific agendas guiding your chat.
Instead, it's simply a chance to ask questions, raise concerns and share your thoughts with those who play a key role in shaping the neighbourhood.

Forming part of a Victoria Police strategy, informal engagement activities like a quick brew can help officers improve their working relationship with the community and better address local talking points.
Perfect for both nearby residents and market traders looking to establish a stronger connection, this relaxed session aims to support the South Melbourne community and foster a more collaborative approach.

Coffee with a Cop is happening from 10–11am on Wednesday, October 15, at Canteen Cafe in South Melbourne Market. Head to Instagram for more information.
