Local residents will have an opportunity to meet the new Chief of Police in Hellertown at an upcoming event in the borough.
The Hellertown Police Department has scheduled Coffee with a Cop at Nick & Noah’s (formerly Hana & Nana Coffee), 501 Main St., Hellertown, on Wednesday, Aug. 28 from 8 to 10 a.m.
Chief James Baitinger was hired by borough council at a meeting earlier this week. In introducing himself to the community, Baitinger has promised changes in the department, which has been without a full-time chief since last year and was the subject of a review by the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association earlier this year.
Other police officers will also be on hand for the event, which will feature free coffee for attendees.
