The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office is hosting a 'Coffee With A Cop' event on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, at Juniper Mountain Coffee in Cocoa. The gathering is free and open to the public, providing an informal setting for residents to meet deputies and discuss community concerns. The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the coffee shop located at 2250 S. Orlando Ave., Cocoa.
The initiative aims to build trust between law enforcement and local residents by fostering open dialogue. Attendees can ask questions about public safety, share neighborhood issues, or learn about ongoing initiatives by the sheriff’s office. No formal agenda is planned, allowing for one-on-one conversations.
Juniper Mountain Coffee has agreed to host the event, which aligns with the sheriff’s office efforts to increase community engagement. The coffee shop has seen steady attendance since opening in 2024, according to owner Lisa Martinez.
The sheriff’s office has held similar events at other locations across Brevard County in recent months. Last month’s event at a Cocoa library drew over 100 participants. No RSVP is required for the April 15 gathering, though attendees are encouraged to arrive early to ensure seating.
Residents can expect to see deputies from multiple units, including patrol, crime prevention, and narcotics. The sheriff’s office says the events help identify community-specific concerns and improve transparency. No other activities are scheduled at Juniper Mountain Coffee on the day of the event.
