Views of the Neighborhood – Lakeway – Coffee with a Cop

~ John W. Howell

The Lakeway Police Department hosted an event called Coffee with a Cop. It was an opportunity for the community to meet police officers and leadership informally. The event was on Friday, but through the miracle of time travel, we can go back. We are catered by Maie Day of Austin, and our entertainment is The Police

  17. That’s one sweet traffic enforcement Mustang! And I can see where the motorcycle would come in handy. Our cops have more of those SUV-things. Looks like you had a pretty day for the festivities — people in short-sleeved shirts already??
