The Coffee with a Cop sessions in Stratford are proving popular with residents, says senior constable Simon Howard.
Simon and his colleagues Senior Constable Jono Erwood and Sergeant Paula Drewery were at the Inkpot Cafe in Stratford in December for the month's Coffee with a Cop session, and say they all received plenty of positive feedback from the event.
Jono says they answered several questions regarding traffic rules this time.
"One of the good questions we were asked was regarding SH43 as it goes out to Toko. The person was unsure who has to give way at the one-lane bridge just past the cemetery if you have a car going east coming off the bridge and a car coming into Stratford turning off Beaconsfield Road. We were happy to explain the person at a controlled intersection must give way, so in this case the person on Beaconsfield Road must give way to the car coming east."
Online and phone-based scams were raised as well, says Paula.
