Cones with a Cop @ Coastal Cone in the Harbor

July 23 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Ventura, Calif. – The Ventura Police Department invites the community to enjoy ice cream, shakes, floats,
and friendly conversation at ‘Cones with a Cop.’ This sweet summertime event will be hosted on Tuesday,
July 23, 2024, from 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. at Coastal Cone, located at 1583 Spinnaker Drive #104 in the Ventura
Harbor.

Engaging with the community is crucial year-round, and with warmer weather and increased outdoor
activities, it becomes an even better opportunity to support local businesses, strengthen trust, and meet
Ventura residents.

“It’s not often that community members can enjoy a conversation with a police officer over ice cream; we’re
trying something new!” shared Police Chief Darin Schindler. “Whether you’re a curious resident seeking
personal safety tips, a parent looking to get involved in community events, or a student wanting to learn
more about a potential career, this event is for you. Together, we can make Ventura a safer, more vibrant
place to live.”

Most resident interactions between Ventura residents and police officers occur during high-stress emer-
gencies, which aren’t always ideal for fostering strong relationships. ‘Cones with a Cop’ breaks down those
barriers, offering a relaxed, one-on-one opportunity to chat with the Chief of Police and the officers who
serve Ventura’s neighborhoods.

Ventura Police officers will also give out 50 free kids’ cone tickets, courtesy of Coastal Cone.

Department, at eayala@cityofventura.ca.gov.
