VPD to Host Coffee with a Cop

There’s nothing quite like starting your morning with a good cup of coffee and a real conversation, and next week the Ventura Police Department is making that easy for all of us. According to the *Ventura Breeze*, Chief David Dickey and local officers will be at Daylight and Moon Cafe on Tuesday, May 12, from 8 to 9:30 a.m. for Coffee with a Cop. It’s part of National Police Week, but honestly, this kind of meet-and-greet feels perfectly at home here in Ventura—where the beach and the pier are our living room, and our downtown cafes are the kitchen table.

Whether you’ve got a question about neighborhood safety, a story to share, or you just want to thank an officer for their service, this is your chance. No agenda, no formal speeches—just coffee, pastries, and the kind of face-to-face connection that builds trust. So grab your mug, bring a friend, and let’s show our Ventura spirit. After all, the best communities are built one conversation at a time.
