Tiverton Police Selling Pink Patches For Breast Cancer Awareness

TIVERTON, RI — October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and Tiverton police are joining first responders across the country and switching their usual police patches in for pink ones. Officers will be wearing the patches as well as selling them — it's all part of the Pink Patch Project.

The Pink Patch Project is a nationwide awareness campaign where police departments sell pink patches during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Tiverton Police Department will be selling a limited edition patch which showcases the Town of Tiverton seal in pink. The patches are $15

All proceeds will go to the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation.

Patches can be purchased beginning the first week of October. Those interested in buying a patch should email Sgt. John LeDuc at jleduc@tivertonpoliceri.com.
