PBSO Helps Mother and Newborn

On March 1st, a mother in need and her 5-month newborn came into one of our substations requesting assistance. They had just arrived from New Jersey where they couldn’t stay due to poor weather conditions that were affecting them. With nowhere to go and no family to call, we were able to assist the family with temporary shelter and financial assistance on behalf of Adopt-A-Family. Our deputy took them to the temporary shelter and provided food, water, and other essentials.

Anti-Bullying Awareness

Since February is Anti-Bullying Awareness month, we were invited to make a presentation about bullying to a group of parents at Bridges at Highland Elementary School. As an incentive for participating during the presentation, each parent received a PBSO color-changing cup for parents to use as a “talking piece” with their children regarding bullying. The parents were appreciative of the community outreach effort and we couldn’t be happier to answer their questions.
