Officers wear pink to mark Breast Cancer awareness month

SBPD

The Seal Beach Police Department will continue to wear a special pink patch to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In 2013, the Seal Beach Police Department created the nation’s first pink police patch to help show support for breast cancer awareness month. Since then, over 500 law enforcement agencies have joined it in supporting this worthy cause by creating and wearing their own pink patches.

Throughout October, the men and women of the Seal Beach Police Department will display pink patches on their uniforms in support of those who have died, survivors and those who are still fighting.

The patches are available for sale to the public for $10 each. Proceeds from the sale of patches will be donated to the National Law Enforcement Cancer Support Foundation ( http://lawenforcementcancer. org/).
