WHAT IS THE
ARE YOU
PINK PATCH PROJECT?
READY The Pink Patch Project (PPP) is a collaborative effort between public safety agencies across the nation. These agencies have partnered together to combat breast cancer by raising public awareness, and funds for breast cancer education, research, and treatment.
TO GO
What started as a small campaign to help raise awareness, has grown into a national movement of agencies and is
growing daily. The project centers on vibrant pink versions PINK? of the Department's uniform patch, which have been specially designed by each agency for this cause.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Participating agencies who wear pink patches or sell them to raise funds, help to stimulate conversations with their community. They encourage discussion with the public about the importance of early detection and treatment in the fight against this disease.
HOW THE PPP GOT ITS S ART
The roots of the PPP can be traced to the Seal Beach, California, Police Department, who wore pink patches on their uniform shirts during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in 2013. In 2015, the Irwindale, CA, Police Department took the idea a step further and sold their patches to the community, raising over $20,000.00 and the project was born. In 2016, then IPD Chief Anthony Miranda took the idea to the Los Angeles Police Chiefs Association and 25 local agencies came on board. Since then the program has expanded to hundreds of partnering agencies throughout the nation and includes Police, Sheriff, Fire, EMS and Federal Departments.
