What is National Coffee with a Cop Day?

National Coffee with a Cop Day is a day dedicated to promoting communication and positive interactions between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve. This annual event, which began in 2016, aims to encourage open conversations and mutual understanding. Celebrated on the first Wednesday of October, it provides an opportunity for the public and police officers to strengthen their relationships over a casual cup of coffee.

How is DML Celebrating National Coffee with a Cop Day

As the preferred lender of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), we’re excited to participate in National Coffee with a Cop Day. To celebrate, we’re hosting a giveaway where FOP members have a chance to win a bundle from First Responder’s Coffee and Cigar Company (FRCC). It’s a small way, we’re saying thank you for the hard work and dedication of the law enforcement officers who serve our communities.
