Boeing isn’t manufacturing at Moses Lake. But the airport the company is using as a testing facility there was a US air base until the 1960s, so the Moses Lake police may well have gotten the Victory via Air Force surplus. The AF got a lot of Victorys from the Navy after WW II, which were used before the Model 15.

PS: On a side note, Boeing’s Moses Lake facility has gained some fame in the PNW lately as the “mini-graveyard” where they have mothballed hundreds of 737MAX’s waiting for some solution to that mess.
