Full Notification

In support of Breast Cancer Awareness, members of the Berkeley Police Department will show our support by wearing Pink Patches and badges to bring attention to the fight against breast cancer. In addition to the pink uniform patches, the Berkeley Police Association sells commemorative/collectible pink patches, challenge coins, and T-shirts to the public. The patches are different in appearance from our uniform patches (containing a ribbon instead of a star). You can purchase the commemorative patches for $5, challenge coins for $10, and T-shirts for $20 (limited quantity available) at the Front Counter of the police department (Monday-Friday, 8 am-2 pm). The preferred payment method is cash or check payable to Berkeley Police Association. The proceeds from the sales will be donated to the Women's Cancer Resource Center (2908 Ellsworth Street) in Berkeley.

Our Community Services Bureau created a community engagement Pink Patch in 2022 to pass out during October to further support Breast Cancer Awareness. If you want to obtain one of these patches, stop by one of our community events in October. Visit our Community Engagement  page on the Transparency Hub for a calendar of upcoming events.
