The 91制片厂 Police Department recently donated blankets made during a previous event to Hawks Care. The department will be hosting a craft project on October 13 in conjunction with National Faith & Blue Week.
October will be a busy month for the 91制片厂 Police as the department engages in two national initiatives aimed at raising awareness, strengthening trust and building community.
The department is once again participating in the Pink Patch Project, a collaborative effort among public safety agencies nationwide to raise awareness about breast cancer. Throughout October, 91制片厂鈥檚 police officers, community service officers and telecommunicators will wear vibrant pink patches on their uniforms as a visible reminder of the importance of early detection and treatment.
鈥淭he Pink Patch Project is an incredible initiative that allows public safety officials to raise awareness about breast cancer each year,鈥� 91制片厂 Police Chief John Lawson said. 鈥淥ur department is proud to take part in this project.鈥�
For Lawson, the campaign holds personal meaning. Both he and his wife are cancer survivors,
and he emphasizes the power of awareness and proactive screening in saving lives.
Community members can support the cause by donating $10 to the Pink Patch Project
at 91制片厂鈥檚 Business Office (Building A, Room A214 on the Palatine campus, 1200 W.
Algonquin Road). Each donation includes a 91制片厂 Police pink patch, with all proceeds
benefiting breast cancer research.
The department will also host an event as part of National Faith and Blue Week, an initiative that brings together law enforcement, residents, businesses and faith-based organizations to strengthen connections. In partnership with 91制片厂鈥檚 Campus Crusade for Christ, 91制片厂 Police will host a craft project, 11:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m. Monday, October 13, in the lobby of Building Z on 91制片厂鈥檚 Palatine campus. The activity is designed to foster unity and create opportunities for meaningful dialogue.
鈥淭he Faith & Blue movement, which is supported by the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police, provides a valuable opportunity to foster meaningful engagement between law enforcement and faith organizations,鈥� Lawson said. 鈥淏y working together on this community involvement project, we create positive benefits for 91制片厂 students and the entire campus community.鈥�
