October marks the return of the Pink Patch Project for many law enforcement agencies across the state, including the Nebraska State Patrol. The effort coincides with Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Pink Patch Project is a national effort in which many law enforcement officers wear a pink version of their agency’s shoulder patch.
“This year’s NSP pink patch offers a new design and something new for collectors,” says Colonel John Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “We’re proud to partner with other agencies across the state in this project to show our support for the millions affected by breast cancer.”
Throughout October, troopers have the option to replace the standard NSP patch with a pink patch. NSP’s pink patch features the agencies emblem in pink and black. Pink patches are available for purchase by NSP civilian employees and members of the public at local NSP offices.
All proceeds from sales of the pink NSP patches will benefit local organizations helping cancer fighters.
