Kelowna residents got answers to some of their burning questions on Thursday morning.

For the third consecutive Thursday, Kelowna RCMP held their Coffee with a Cop event, giving residents a chance to have their voices heard and questions answered in a casual format. It was held at Bean Scene on Pandosy Street, where RCMP Media Relations Officer Mike Della-Paolera and a couple other police answered questions.

㽶ƵֱIt㽶Ƶֱs to give open access to the public, come and talk to police officers and voice their concerns,㽶Ƶֱ said Della-Paolera. 㽶ƵֱThey can tell us some things they want to get off their chest and we㽶Ƶֱll provide them the answers.㽶Ƶֱ

The first two events were held at Deville Coffee on Bernard Street and The Jammery on Harvey Avenue.

㽶ƵֱWe㽶Ƶֱre getting a lot of people here asking questions,㽶Ƶֱ said Della-Paolera, who added that the first event was a little slow but many people attended the second and third events.

㽶ƵֱThe biggest questions we㽶Ƶֱre getting so far are the concerns with thefts and break-ins to businesses and houses, and that㽶Ƶֱs something we㽶Ƶֱre aware of and we㽶Ƶֱre always working to address those issues.㽶Ƶֱ

After finding success at these first three events, the Kelowna RCMP are planning to take a break and make plans for more 㽶ƵֱCoffee with a Cop㽶Ƶֱ events in March or April.

㽶ƵֱWe㽶Ƶֱve had some businesses ask us if we㽶Ƶֱll come to them,㽶Ƶֱ said Della-Paolera.
