DELAND, Fla. -- The next installment of the Volusia County Sheriff's Office's 90-minute "Coffee With A Cop" program is scheduled for 8 a.m. Friday at the McDonald's restaurant in the Brandywine Plaza just north of the DeLand city limits.
The 2-year-old program is part of a national initiative to further dialogue between law enforcement and citizens without heavy lectures or hidden agendas.
"As always, the eventpromises coffee and casual conversation, with no agendas or speeches -- just a chance to ask questions, discuss issues of concern and get to know the deputies in the area," Gary Davidson, senior spokesman for Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson, told Headline Surfer®.
Davidson added the VCSO has hosted a dozen such Coffee with a Cop sessions like this across the county since 2014, mirroring the national law enforcement initiative.
