Decatur Jewelry and Pawn, which recently celebrated its 30th anniversary, hosted a “Coffee with a Cop” event this week at their Decatur store as part of a community outreach program to foster positive dialogue and strengthen relations between local law enforcement officials and the community members they serve.
One customer who stopped by and chatted with police who were in attendance observed, “It’s interesting that the police are trying so hard to do things for us and our safety. And it’s nice to connect the face with a name.”
“We have a great relationship with local law enforcement and respect the work that they do every day,” said owner Perry Lewin, “this is just a small way to take some time out and celebrate them alongside the community they serve.”
Lewin is a respected local businessman who has recently joined the Board of Directors of the Illinois Pawnbrokers Association and the National Pawnbrokers Association. “We understand the importance of community, and this event reflects our commitment to ensuring that Decatur is a place where business, residents, and law enforcement work hand-in-hand,” said Lewin.
