🩷 Pink Badges for Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🩷

Throughout October, Lopatcong Township Police Officers will wear pink badges in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

This small but meaningful show of support honors those currently fighting breast cancer, celebrates survivors, remembers those we have lost, and stands with the families, friends, caregivers, and medical professionals affected by this disease.

Lopatcong Township Police Department is proud to join communities everywhere in raising awareness and encouraging the importance of early detection, screening, and support.
