The Pink Patch Project is an innovative public awareness campaign designed to bring attention to the fight against breast cancer and to support breast cancer research organizations in combating this devastating disease. The program centers on vibrant pink versions of the public safety officer’s uniform patch. These bright pink patches have been designed by each participating agency specifically for the #PinkPatchProject campaign. Officers at each of the participating agencies may wear these pink patches on their regular uniforms for the entire month of October each year during “Breast Cancer Awareness Month.” The pink patches are intended to stimulate conversation with the community and to encourage public awareness about the importance of early detection and the on-going fight against this disease.
The #PinkPatchProject represents over 60 law enforcement agencies that have partnered together to combat breast cancer by raising public awareness regarding breast cancer research and treatment.
