On March 2nd, 2026, Collingwood and The Blue Mountains OPP spent the morning at a local Tim Hortons for a “Coffee with a Cop” event.
We had a great time chatting with community members, answering questions, and getting to know people in a more casual, comfortable setting. It was great to see so many familiar faces and meet a few new ones as well. We always enjoy hearing what’s on people’s minds, whether it’s local concerns, community updates, or just sharing a few laughs over a cup of coffee
Events like this give everyone a chance to connect with their local police officers outside of calls for service, and we truly appreciated everyone who took a few minutes to stop by, enjoy a coffee, and say hello. Building positive relationships with our community is very important to us, and we look forward to the opportunity to hosting more chances to connect in the future.

We are always excited to be able to support our community, and the Coffee with a Cop program is an excellent way for members of our community to meet and chat with those that keep us safe. We were thrilled to be asked to host this event and look forward to being a part of future events with the OPP – Bill Trude
