'Code Pink' for Fredericksburg Police Cruiser in October

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — The primary lettering on a Fredericksburg Police cruiser will be switched to pink in October in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The department says the Crown Victoria will "serve as a symbol of hope to not only those who are battling breast cancer but to those family members and friends that are fighting alongside them."

The cost to re-do the cruiser and then covert it back to regular colors was covered by three partners of the department: Mary Washington Healthcare, Summit Recycling, Sign Enterprise and Holt Nye Realty.

In a release referring to the "code pink" cruiser, police chief David Nye said "the men and women of the Fredericksburg Police Department care deeply about the community they serve. Going 'code pink' in October is another way to show we care."
