Officers will wear bright pink versions of the department’s shoulder patch throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month
The Ridgefield Police Department (RPD) is once again joining the international Pink Patch Project this October, marking its eighth year of participation in the breast cancer awareness campaign.
Officers will wear bright pink versions of the department’s shoulder patch throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The patches are also available for the public to purchase for $10, with proceeds benefiting the Pink Lemonade Project, a local nonprofit supporting those affected by breast cancer.
This year’s limited-edition patch features Ridgefield’s signature sandhill crane soaring over a blue river, walking trail, evergreen trees, and mountains beneath a bright pink sky. Only 300 patches are available.
Ridgefield’s effort goes beyond police uniforms: pink ribbons will be displayed on City police vehicles, awareness stickers will be handed out by officers, and City staff will once again show their support by wearing pink on Wednesdays.
Patches go on sale October 2 at the Ridgefield Police Department (101 Mill Street Ste 110) and City Hall (230 Pioneer Street) and at local businesses including Seasons Coffee, Ridgefield Floral, Lava Java, Brewed Awakenings, BevRidge Public, and Taps Beer Reserve.
“Cancer has touched nearly every family in some way,” said Police Chief Cathy Doriot. “Participating in the Pink Patch Project is our way of standing beside those impacted, while also helping fund the incredible work of the Pink Lemonade Project.”
