Menlo Park Police participating in Pink Patch Project for Breast Cancer Awareness

The Menlo Park Police Department will participate in the Pink Patch Project this October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Pink Patch Project is a public awareness campaign in which law enforcement agencies in the United States use pink versions of their agency’s patches and squad cars to encourage conversations with community members about breast cancer.

The pink patches are intended to raise awareness about the importance of early detection and the ongoing fight against this disease as well as offer support to those currently affected.

The Menlo Park Police Department also has patches for sale for $10 each with 100% of the proceeds going to the Bay Area Cancer Connections organization. Please stop by the Police Department lobby at 701 Laurel St. during regular business hours to purchase one.
