The Redmond Police Department is participating in the Pink Patch Project throughout October, marking its fourth consecutive year of involvement. This initiative is part of a nationwide effort among public safety agencies to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Officers and professional staff have the option to don pink versions of their police patches, signifying their support for those impacted by breast cancer. Police Chief Darrell Lowe highlighted the department's pride in collaborating with law enforcement agencies across the country to raise funds and show solidarity. Members of the community can contribute by purchasing commemorative items like shoulder patches, hat patches, and lapel pins, each priced at $10.

All proceeds from these sales will benefit the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, aiding in research and treatment efforts. The initiative not only emphasizes the importance of community support but also encourages public participation in critical health issues.
