SINGAPORE, June 18 (The Straits Times/ANN): A new programme will let residents meet their neighbourhood’s police officers more regularly, rather than mainly in passing on the street and during crises.

From June, all 35 neighbourhood police centres (NPCs) across the island will step up their public engagement by hosting monthly Coffee with a Cop sessions at food and beverage outlets in their respective neighbourhoods.
