HEBER CITY, Utah — The Heber City Police Department will host a Coffee with a Cop event at Burger King in Heber City on Wednesday from 8-10 a.m. Through this event, the department aims to help create connections and conversations between law enforcement and the community.

Events such as this are meant to deconstruct barriers that can develop between the community and the police. The idea is that in an informal environment, conversations are free to discuss conflict and concerns and ask questions.

Their motto for the event, “Building Relationships, One Cup at a Time,” speaks to the purpose that Heber City Police hope to achieve on Wednesday with an eye toward the future.
