WHAT IS THE PINK PATCH PROJECT?

The PPP is a collaborative effort between the Los Angeles County Police Chiefs' Association and public safety agencies from across the nation. These agencies have partnered together
in the Pink Patch Project to combat breast cancer by raising public awareness and by raising funds for breast cancer education, research and treatment.

The program centers on vibrant pink versions of the public safety employee's uniform patch. These bright pink patches are specially designed by each participating agency specifically for
the PPP campaign. Uniformed members at each of the participating agencies wear these pink patches on their regular uniforms during the month of October, which is “Breast Cancer
Awareness Month.”

Wearing pink patches on the member’s uniform is intended to stimulate conversations with the community during our daily contacts with them and to encourage discussion with the
public about the importance of early detection and treatment in the fight against this disease.

The PPP is a partnership between all of these public safety agencies, providing a way to unify the various organizations’ efforts under a common theme and message, all with the
goal of fighting breast cancer on a larger scale.
