“Coffee with a Cop” at outreach centers great success
The LLCC Police Department’s first series of “Coffee With a Cop” events at LLCC Outreach Centers was a great success. They took place at Beardstown, Jacksonville, Litchfield and Taylorville. One event was held at each location over the past four weeks. There were 76 total students that took the time to visit with our officers. We would like to thank everyone that donated their time and resources to the event. It would not have been possible without your help!
Special thanks goes out to Sarah Goodman, Jubelt’s Bakery and Restaurant, Marcy Koches, Dee Krueger, Rick Lashbrook, Paula Luebbert, Christine Marietta, Keri Mason, Lorie McDonald, Jennifer Meyer, Tisha Miller, Maryjane Million, Meagan Raison, Safe Co Donuts and Bakery Shop, Brenda Schuster, Marie Watson and Marina Wirsing.
