His interest in law enforcement was encouraged by his uncle, an officer for the Boise Police Department in Idaho, and grew though riding along with officers as part of his high school senior project.

Cafferty adapted the idea of an informal gathering of law enforcement and students from Cops and Coffee, a past event on campus. He said his goal was to create an open space for students and community to get to know local law enforcement, including the Dawes County Sheriff’s Office, the Nebraska State Patrol, and Nebraska Game and Parks.

“We’re just people too and we’re part of the community,” Cafferty said.
