BREAST CANCER AWARENESS PATCHES
During the month of October, the Placentia Police Department is proud to support breast cancer awareness by helping raise funds for cancer research. We are pleased to offer our official uniform shoulder patch with pink highlights and the breast cancer awareness ribbon, as well as a key chain with a smaller version of the badge, as collector’s pieces to show solidarity with cancer survivors and those fighting this horrible disease. In affiliation with the Pink Patch Project, all proceeds from this program will be donated to the non-profit organization Susan G. Komen of Orange County to support their efforts to save lives by meeting the most critical needs in our communities and investing in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast cancer. The pink patches and key chains are available for sale (CASH ONLY) at the front counter of the Placentia Police Department.
