Watsonville Police Cruiser Getting Pink Makeover

WATSONVILLE, CA — A Watsonville Police Department cruiser will "go pink" this month, in honor of breast cancer awareness, courtesy of a "wrap" from the local business Chaz Design.

The pink cruiser is part of the agency's "Pink Patch Project," a campaign coinciding with October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month to raise funds and promote awareness of the disease.

"We’d like to thank Chaz Design for DONATING their time and the materials needed to wrap the patrol car," the department said. "Official unveiling coming soon."

Watsonville police also are selling 2020 Pink Patch Project merchandise, with proceeds going to the Katz Cancer Resource Center in Santa Cruz to help local families who cannot afford breast cancer treatments and services. Watonville PD pink-logo'd T-shirts, caps and patches are available for purchase, via cash or Venmo, Mondays through Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the police department lobby, 215 Union St.

Over recent years, Watsonville police's "Pink Patch Project" efforts have raised nearly $35,000 for area breast-cancer causes, officers said.
