CLAREMONT, CA — Claremont police officers are wearing special pink patches on their uniforms throughout October to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month and promote awareness of early detection and treatment, the city announced on Thursday.
The initiative aims to spark conversations in the community about breast cancer and the importance of continued efforts to combat the disease, city officials said.
The Claremont Police Department is also offering commemorative pink patches and challenge coins for purchase by the local community. All proceeds will be donated to City of Hope to support cancer research.
