The coffee was good and the conversation great
By Monty Siekerman
Police Chief Michael Harnishfeger termed Coffee with a Cop on Thursday a success.
There will be more informal chat sessions in various locations in the future, he said.
About 40 people stopped to talk with the officers at McDonald's, both local residents and people passing through town.
Here, Robert Simmons pats K9 Jaeger (which means "hunter" in German) with Chief Harnishfeger (left) and handler Matt Purdy (right).
