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!

On Wednesday, Dec. 20, LLCCPD personnel will be conducting routine testing on the college’s Visiplex emergency notification system between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. This testing is conducted one building at a time and involves activating pre-recorded emergency messages so officers can confirm proper functioning of the system.

The following LLCC Police Department forms, previously located on the old employee portal system, have been migrated to the KBOX system:

• Lost Key Report
• Student Use of Facilities During Non-Business Hours Request
• Extended Stay Vehicle Form
• Student Volunteer Review Form

These forms are now all accessed via the ITS Helpdesk icon located on your desktop.

Officers from the Lincoln Land Community College Police Department and the LLCC community (students, faculty and staff) will come together Monday, Aug. 21 in an informal, neutral space to discuss issues, build relationships, drink coffee and enjoy refreshments. The informal gathering runs from 8:30-10 a.m. in A. Lincoln Commons, LLCC-Springfield, 5250 Shepherd Road. Everyone is invited to attend.

“Coffee with a Cop” provides a unique opportunity for individuals to ask questions, bring concerns and learn more about the department’s work.

The majority of contacts law enforcement has with the public happen during emergencies, or emotional situations. Those situations are not always the most effective times for relationship building, and some individuals may feel that officers are unapproachable on campus. “Coffee with a Cop” is designed to break down barriers and allows for relaxed, one-on-one interactions.

“Coffee with a Cop” is a national initiative supported by the United States Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. Similar events are held across the county, as local police departments strive to make lasting connections with the communities they serve.

The program aims to advance relationships between police officers and individuals one cup of coffee at a time.

More information is available from LLCC Officer Lucas Ostendorf at 786.2278 or lucas.ostendorf@llcc.edu.
