Village Voices Returns Next Tuesday with the Carlsbad Police COPPS Team

Village Voices returns on Tuesday, July 14, bringing Carlsbad Village businesses and Village residents together for a morning of networking, conversation, and valuable community updates.

Networking begins at 8:00 AM, followed by the program from 8:45–9:30 AM. The event is free.

This month’s featured speaker is Sergeant Brian Johnson, supervisor of the Carlsbad Police Department’s newly established Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving (COPPS) Team. He will be joined by the officers assigned to serve the Carlsbad Village area, and the city, for an introduction to this proactive community policing initiative.

During the presentation, attendees will learn about the COPPS Team’s mission, district-based approach, and commitment to working alongside businesses, residents, and community partners to address quality-of-life concerns through collaboration, education, and long-term problem-solving. Rather than simply responding to calls for service, the team focuses on building relationships, identifying recurring issues, and developing lasting solutions that help keep Carlsbad safe, welcoming, and vibrant.

This is also a great opportunity for Village business owners and managers to meet the officers assigned to our area, learn about available resources, ask questions, and share ideas or concerns related to the Village.

In addition to our guest speaker, you will also hear from CVA Member businesses and CVA Executive Director, Christine Davis, who will provide a brief update on upcoming development, lighting, traffic, and parking projects.

Hospitality for Village Voices is made possible through the generous support of CVA members. Enjoy breakfast goodies from Barons Market, coffee donated by Revolution Roasters, and delicious breakfast quesadillas from Señor Grubby's (while supplies last). Thank you to First Team Real Estate for helping make this hospitality possible.

We hope you’ll join us for an informative morning and the opportunity to connect with fellow Village businesses and the officers dedicated to serving our community.
