Coffee with a Cop to be June 10

Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/05/2013 - 1:54pm

NORTH LIBERTY– Coffee with a Cop is an opportunity for the public to meet with officers in a comfortable environment and talk about any subject — from crime trends to neighborhood nuisance issues, public safety management and how to join the team. You bring the questions and talk with a North Liberty Police officer...because there’s nothing a good cup of coffee can’t solve.

NORTH LIBERTY– Johnson County provides one of those lesser-known but most wonderful places to visit– the North Liberty Ridgewood Cemetery. While many go there often to set on the old hillside benches and remember family and friends, many go there to experience one of the most extensive plantings of peonies you will ever see. It’s especially meaningful in May when that peony display is at its finest. They are absolutely beautiful with their many varieties of old pioneer multi-colored flowers– and oh my, that distinct and wonderful smell.
