LAKEPORT, Calif. – Community members got a chance to sit down, share a cup of coffee and a donut with local law enforcement, and talk about public safety at the latest “Coffee with a Cop” event.

The Lakeport Police Department organized the event, hosted by David Brown and Suzie Q's Donuts on Thursday morning. Christopher Caudle and AAA Welding & Fabrication paid for all the donuts.

By the end of the event, an estimated 75 community members had stopped in to chat with members of the Lakeport Police Department, Lake County District Attorney's Office, Lake County Sheriff's Office, officers from the California Highway Patrol's Clear Lake Area office, the Lake County Probation Department as well as Lakeport City Council members.
