Folks in Johnstown had the opportunity Friday morning to sit down with police officers and just talk.

The Johnstown Police Department held their first “Coffee with a Cop” event at the McDonalds in the Kernville section of town.

Chief Foust told WTAJ it was a no pressure environment.

He said it brought both older and younger people in the community out to ask questions and learn more, “It’s interesting.  We had a lot of questions today.  People asked a lot about recruiting, requirements for becoming a police officer, and some of the issues that people are seeing in the community.”

The chief said they are looking to do this event again.  They do not know how often, but told us they will take it to different parts in the Johnstown community.
