Moses Lake WA Police Department

“Subject stated he was in an accident and could not afford to pay for his antibiotic medication. Subject was grateful that LE could help him get his medication.”

“I was asked to do a welfare check on a male who was a Military Veteran (Marines) and was going through a tough time. I contacted the male, and he advised his hip was causing him a lot of pain and he could not get out of the apartment, to go to the store. The other issue was his truck had broken down and he could not walk to the store, due to his hip. The male told me life was hard and needed a little help. I told him about BlueBridge, and the Moses Lake Police Department would love to help him, with some essential items he needed to get by. The male was blown away that there was a program like BlueBridge to help people, and he did not expect it from his local Police Department.”

“The driver of the vehicle was traveling back to Spokane with her two small children, from helping her family member with a flat tire. The driver was tired and had left her wallet at home. The children were hungry and the mom did not have any money to get them food. The children were asked if they were hungry and they stated yes. I bought the children Gatorades, chips and a candy to share, until the mother could get them home in the morning. The mother and kids were grateful for the food and the kids were happy to have had something to eat. This interaction made me happy, due to the fact I was able to assist the mother with getting her kids something to eat. If it were my family that was stranded, I would he very happy that an officer took care of them. Once again, Blue Bridge came through to help a citizen passing through, with some small but much needed help.”

“I came across the citizen while he was attempting to assist another citizen tow their vehicle to a safe location, as the other citizen was having mechanical issues with their vehicle. The subject had ran out of fuel while doing so. The citizen did not have any money for fuel. Due to the nature of the situation, one citizen helping another, I believed it was appropriate to ensure the citizen could continue his good deed. The citizen was provided fuel.”

“Subject was grateful that LE was able to provide him with $30 of gas. Subject stated he has had a lot of bad contacts with LE and never thought a LE officer would buy him gas in a million years.”
