In a press release on Monday, Hy-Vee stores in the Quad Cities and Clinton announced on Wednesday, October 5th that they are observing National Coffee with a Cop Day in a special way. That day, the public is invited to come and have casual conversations with their city's police department at all Quad Cities and Clinton stores.

National Coffee with a Cop Day happens on the first Wednesday in October. It began in 2011 with the Hawthorne Police Department in Hawthorne, California when they wanted to come up with ways to interact with their community. The department began doing a Coffee with a Cop event to do just that.

In 2016 National Coffee with a Cop Day spread to all 50 states as a national holiday and is celebrated around the country including in the Quad Cities.

Celebrate National Coffee with a Cop Day this Wednesday, October 5th, at all Quad Cities and Clinton Hy-Vee stores. Police officers will be at each location from 9-10 a.m. that day.
