 On Wednesday, March 13th, Pikeville Police Department will be at Heavenly Donuts on South Mayo Trail for coffee with a cop. Area residents will have the opportunity to meet with those who patrol the city to keep others safe and talk about current events. Pikeville Police Lieutenant Chad Branham tells us more. It's going to be a good event. There's no agenda. Anybody from the community, from the city of Pikeville, Pike County, you don't have to be Pike County. Anybody that has interactions with us or has questions at all is welcome to come. They can discuss issues. They can come and just get to know us if they want to. We have no agenda. We won't have any kind of distractions. You know, we're not going to be jumping up and answering calls or answering our phones and things like that. We're going to be there for the community. And it's going to be at Heavenly Donuts. Of course, you know, they'll have their brew coffee there. It's a wonderful little local shop. Maybe some people have never been there that may be coming for the first time. We've got delicious donuts, coffee, you know, all of us. That's why we picked that first location. You know, cops love coffee and donuts. So we figured that people would get a kick out of that. Hillbilly Hammock Weekend of Destruction. Demolition derbies are coming to Pikeville. Friday, Saturday, March 29th and 30th, 7 each night. Appalachian Wireless Arena Pikeville. It's going to be a crashing good time. Be there. Coffee with a cop also gives the officers a chance to take a break from their busy schedule. They encourage anyone interested to attend. Yeah, yeah. It's a nice break for us to get a sit down and just chat with folks while we're not out, you know, answering calls for service or taking complaints or working collisions and things of that nature. You know, most not all, but most people that get into law enforcement are extroverted people for the most part. You know, we like to get out and talk and talk with people and get to know people and it's a good way for us to develop some rapport with the community, as well as them developing a good relationship with us.
