For a coffee with the police: Interior Minister Herbert Reul (CDU) visited the new “Coffee with a Cop” format in Langenfeld on Tuesday.
At the meeting of officials with citizens, the police buy coffee or cocoa - and start talking to the people.
Langenfeld - "Coffee with a Cop" (in German: coffee with a police officer) has been an established form of communication among citizens in the USA for years, according to the Ministry of the Interior in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Since 2016 there has even been a nationwide "Coffee with a Cop" day there.
Actually scheduled for 2020, the tour through NRW was postponed due to Corona.
Now the small coffee cart is to stop in a total of 30 cities.
The start was last week in Hagen.
According to the local police, five officers had a conversation with many citizens over free coffee - about garbage, noise or protection from burglars.
