Marysville police bridge community gaps through direct aid program

The Marysville Police Department's BlueBridge Alliance program equips officers to provide immediate emergency assistance to residents in crisis. Officers have distributed over $1,100 in aid, including housing and transportation assistance. Police Officer Raye Liffrig notably helped a human trafficking victim by arranging hotel accommodations and essentials, collaborating with the FBI. Officer Amanda Stewart provided critical support to a domestic violence victim and a family affected by a rental scam, demonstrating the program's versatility. The initiative fosters positive relationships between police and community members, addressing diverse needs effectively.

Police Officer Jessie Glenn emphasized the program’s impact on transforming police interactions with those skeptical of law enforcement. The BlueBridge program exemplifies a proactive approach to community safety and support. Residents can contribute to these efforts through online donations at the city’s website.
