The Atlantic Police Department reports they have registered with the “Pink Patch Project,” to promote awareness for breast cancer, as well as other forms of cancer. During the month of October, which is known as “Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” Officers may be seen wearing pink uniform patches on their duty uniform. This is done to support those who have gone through or are currently going through, treatment for this disease and diseases similar.

In addition, the Atlantic Police Department will sell pink uniform patches as a fundraiser. Funds raised from the sales of pink uniform patches will be donated to the Cass County Relay for Life, benefiting the American Cancer Society. Patches can be purchased for $10 per patch, and are available during normal business hours at the Atlantic Police Department, Atlantic City Hall, and the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce.
