Deputies hand out blue light bulbs to help build community trust

Deputies want to light up the community in blue, which is why Grant County has partnered with Paul Lauzier Foundation to give away 4,000 blue light bulbs.

It is part of a Grant County Sheriff Department program called "Citizens Uniting with Blue."

Sheriff Tom Jones says, "This campaign is not about picking sides, but rather partnering with the citizens that we serve.”

Volunteers will be out in nine different cities including Moses Lake, Royal City and Warden, Thursday July 28, at 5 p.m. giving away the bulbs.

Groups will be at the following locations:

• Penn Plaza on Stratford Road at the entrance to Wal-Mart,

• Harvest Foods on West Broadway.
• Doolittle Dream Park on Patton Blvd.
