SPOKANE, Wash. - Spokane police officers are no strangers to turning in their usual blue for green aprons at "Coffee With A Cop" get-togethers around town–they're usually organized by the Spokane Police Department (SPD), but the one held Tuesday at the Downtown Spokane Starbucks was kickstarted by a student at Eastern Washington University (EWU). Ferris High School alum Tayla Tollefson was wrapping up her freshman year at EWU recently when she brainstormed a five-part program called "Cops and Communities," consisting of new ways for people to meet the officers that serve in their neighborhoods.
