BERKELEY — The Police Department invites residents to a tête-à-tête with one of its carabinieri at Caffè Strada, 2300 College Ave. from 11 a.m to 12:30 p.m. April 19.

Coffee With A Cop, as the periodic coffee klatches are known nationally, are unscripted events with “no agenda or speeches, just a chance to ask questions, share concerns, and meet some of the team who works to keep you safe,” according to Berkeley police.
