Many know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  This month, the Sacramento Police Department is partnering with the Albie Aware Breast Cancer Foundation to raise money to help others in the community who are facing breast cancer.  

Throughout October, you’ll notice that many Sacramento Police Officers will be wearing uniforms with pink patches.  This bold statement is designed to bring attention to the fight against breast cancer and to support research organizations in combating this devastating disease. 

We are one of many law enforcement agencies participating in this innovative public awareness campaign called the “Pink Patch Project”.  These patches are intended to stimulate conversation with the community and to encourage public awareness about the importance of early detection and the on-going fight against this disease.

Through the month of October, these limited-edition patches will be available to the public for a donation of $10.00 each at the Kinney Police Facility on Marysville Blvd and the Public Safety Center on Freeport Blvd.  100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Albie Aware foundation.   

Thank you for your support in this important cause.  We know together, we can accomplish great things.
