☕👮♂️ Coffee with a Cop 👮♀️☕
On November 12, students from Mr. Wentworth's Criminal Justice classes had the unique opportunity to attend the third annual Coffee with a Cop event at McCracken County High School. They gathered for coffee and pastries, generously provided by students from Mrs. Woodruff's culinary classes, and engaged in meaningful conversations with officers from the McCracken County Sheriff's Office, Paducah Police Department, Kentucky State Police, FBI, and McCracken County Campus Police.
The event allowed students to meet and interact with a wide range of law enforcement professionals, including detectives, patrol officers, school resource officers, and administrators. True to the mission of the Coffee with a Cop national initiative, this event helped break down barriers between law enforcement and the community, fostering open dialogue and understanding.
A big thank you to all the officers and students who made this event a success! ☕👮♂️
