Pink Patch Project Comes to FPD

The Pink Patch Project is breast cancer awareness activity begun by public safety personnel in California. According to the organization, he program centers on vibrant pink versions of the public safety employee’s uniform patch. These bright pink patches have been specially designed by each participating agency specifically for their Pink Patch Project participation. Public safety employees at each of the participating agencies wear their pink patches on their regular duty uniforms each year for the entire month of October during “Breast Cancer Awareness Month.”

According to the FPD Facebook page posting, the department and the Franklin Police Patrol Association are participating in the annual Pink Patch Project.  Patches can be bought for $10 each.
