SMRYNA, GA -- Have you seen the pink Smyrna police cruiser? It may give you pause, but it's for a good cause. The Smyrna force is involved in a Beat Breast Cancer initiative that includes a bright pink police cruiser.

The cruiser has been making the rounds to raise awareness of breast cancer, which affects about one in eight women in the United States. (SIGN UP: Get Patch's Daily Newsletter and Real Time News Alerts. Or, if you have an iPhone, download the free Patch app.)
