Coffee With a Cop

[unshelledpilot]

I didn't know this was a thing. Apparently, departments all over the nation are hosting community events at local coffee shops to interact with the communities they serve. No big speeches, no agenda. It just so happens that Hammond PD is hosting one next Wednesday (2-11) at The Wheel in Hammond. I am not a part of the Department, I'm just a resident who thinks that this is a great opportunity to get to know some folks in my PD.

Hammond Police Department to host Coffee with a Cop | City of Hammond, Indiana

I'd love to see some INGOers out there, I will definitely be attending, I'll be the guy OCing, with my dingy black and yellow baseball cap. Come say hi.

I like it.

Been doing that in Terre Haute for a few months now.

 

[HamYankee]

That's pretty cool. I'd go, if there was a gathering in my town.

Every morning at Fuel in Lafayette.

[pitbulld45]

If you want coffee with a cop I can be found having coffee at Fair Oaks when I'm working south..I65 220mm

Gun free zones?

Nope. This particular one is at a diner. I've never had a problem carrying there.. I looked into it and the Hammond PD has been doing this since last year, always in a coffee house or similar business.

 

[ModernGunner]

Duuuh... it's called "Dunkin' Donuts"!

Hmmm, having a 'cop o' coffee with a coffee cop'?

4 p.m. - 6 p.m., for those who didn't click the link.

 

[JetGirl]

Pfft. I have coffee with a cop almost every day.

Hammond tends to be a little anti-gun/anti-OC.

I haven't had a problem since I moved here

Had no idea... When, where, etc.? Kind of interested.

Of course, now I can't find the threads I need.

1) The city of Hammond has 3 ordnances violating the State of Indiana's Firearms' Preemption. They were taken to court, and the court ruled the ordnances can stand, as long as Hammond doesn't enforce them. In court, that was argued that it would be similar to the city putting up a wrong speed limit sign on the highway, where they have no jurisdiction.

2) An INGOer was detained for carrying while cutting grass, on his own property.

3) Mayor McDermott has stated publically that he is anti-gun, and will do everything he can to get rid of them.

Both of these are from several years ago. Like I said, I haven't had a problem with anyone since I moved here; neighbors, cops, store clerks, no one. There's even a sheriff's deputy stationed at the Walmart up here, we make eye contact every time I walk in and I don't get gunned down. No problems for me.
