Coffee with a Cop – First Tuesdays at Voorhout Library
Every first Tuesday of the month, the Voorhout Library opens its doors for Coffee with a Cop, a relaxed community event running from 12:00 to 14:00. During this time, residents and visitors alike can meet the neighborhood officer from Teylingen, ask questions, and share concerns in an informal setting. Because the event is free and drop-in, it offers a simple way to strengthen ties and create open dialogue about safety in the community.
What Is Coffee with a Cop?
Building Connections Through Conversation
Firstly, the idea behind Coffee with a Cop is to bring people and police together in a comfortable environment. Without uniforms, desks, or official meetings, the focus is purely on conversation over coffee. As a result, barriers are lowered, trust is built, and honest discussions become easier. Moreover, the relaxed setting makes it simple to bring up topics that matter to you.
Supporting Local Safety
Secondly, by offering regular opportunities for open dialogue, the event allows community members to voice concerns early. Consequently, the police can better understand what is happening in the neighborhood and work with residents to find solutions. In addition, this ongoing contact ensures that safety efforts remain approachable, accessible, and rooted in everyday life across Teylingen.
When and Where
Venue
The gathering takes place at Bibliotheek Voorhout, Herenstraat 48, 2215 KH Voorhout. Since the library is centrally located, it provides a welcoming space where everyone feels comfortable speaking openly.

Every first Tuesday of the month, from 12:00 to 14:00. You can stop by for a quick chat or stay longer if you have more questions. Because the event is held monthly, it offers both flexibility and regularity for those who want to stay connected.

Simple and Free
No booking or membership is needed. Just drop by during the hours, grab a warm drink, and join the conversation. On the one hand, newcomers appreciate the open invitation; on the other hand, long-time residents enjoy the chance to reconnect and exchange ideas with their local officer.
