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.

Our deputy took them to the temporary shelter and provided food, water, and other essentials.
