The Westport Police Department is proud to be a member of the Pink Patch Project for 2018. Our newly designed patches are part of an innovative campaign that is comprised of over 2,675 other public safety agencies nationwide, designed to bring attention to the fight against breast cancer and to support breast cancer research organizations in combating this devastating disease.

 

For the month of October, officers will be wearing uniform shirts with our pink patch to help spread awareness. Wearing pink patches on our uniform is intended to stimulate conversations with the community during our daily contacts with them and to encourage discussion with the public.

 

From October 1st-31st, we will be selling the patches to the public as a fundraiser for $10 each at the Westport Police Department, 50 Jesup Road, Westport, CT. The proceeds will be donated to Pink Aid of Westport. Those who purchase our Pink Patch can tag the Westport Police Department Facebook page, Instagram and Twitter.
