Tongues wagged and coffee flowed at an informal gathering with community members and police officers at the Andresen Road McDonald’s Tuesday afternoon. “Glad for the cup of coffee, because it’s that time,” Officer Tyler Chavers said “Anytime’s a good time for a cup of coffee, I think,” joked Officer McAvoy Shipp. The Vancouver Police Department and McDonald’s teamed up to host a “Coffee With a Cop” event, and about 15 or so people stopped by to chat and listen about public safety in Vancouver. Events like Tuesday’s aren’t uncommon.
