Coffee with a cop, promoted by senior constable Deb Hann in her On The Beat column last week proved a success last week. Deb brought along six of her colleagues – including fellow Te Awamutu News columnist Ryan Fleming to chat with residents at the Deli on the Corner and she was delighted with the response from the public.
