Troop B Public Information and Education Officer Sergeant Brent Bernhardt spoke to KMZU’s Kristie Cross about a blood drive on Saturday, October 3rd.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop B Headquarters is partnering with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive. Troop B Public Information and Education Officer Sergeant Brent Bernhardt says this blood drive serves to honor the memory off fallen trooper Corporal Michael D. Webster as well as bring attention to the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol. Sgt. Bernhardt says, “Michael Webster was actually on a traffic stop and was hit by an impaired driver back in 1993.”
The sergeant says Corporal Webster’s family has actually pursued the idea of a blood drive and it’s being conducted on various days throughout the state of Missouri at all of the troop headquarters.
If you are interested in taking part of this great event you can contact the American Red Cross at 800-733-2767 or visit their website. You can also contact your Troop Headquarters.
