Police Sport Pink Patches for Breast Cancer Awareness
A Seal Beach Police Department employee, who survived cancer, designed special pink patches for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Seal Beach Police Department will be incorporating pink into its uniforms throughout October thanks to the help of one of its employees who is a cancer survivor.
The department's traditional personnel uniform this month includes an embroidered pink patch. According to Seal Beach police, the “Pink Patch Project” as it is known around the station is the brainchild of one of the cancer survivors who works at the police department.
The goal of the SBPD's Pink Patch Project is to raise awareness and money for cancer.
