Coffee With a Cop

Councilor Loretta Smith hosts a monthly Coffee with a Cop gathering at her East Portland office, creating a welcoming space for neighbors to connect with local police and community leaders. These informal conversations offer an opportunity to share concerns, ask questions, and explore solutions related to public safety and community wellbeing.

District 1 faces unique public safety challenges, and meaningful progress depends on trust, collaboration, and open dialogue. This gathering is designed to foster understanding, highlight available resources, and support community-driven approaches to keeping our neighborhoods safe.

Residents, business owners, parents, educators, and community members are encouraged to attend. Coffee will be provided.

Together, we can build safer, more connected communities through conversation and partnership.
