Wyckoff Police Go Pink For Breast Cancer Awareness Month

WYCKOFF, NJ — Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In 2020, an estimated 276,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 48,530 new cases of non-invasive breast cancer.

Because October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Wyckoff Police Department is doing its part to bring attention to the disease.

For the month of October, Wyckoff officers recently announced they will be proudly wearing pink ribbon hats during their daily patrol activities to show support and increase awareness of the disease.

"The breast cancer ribbon has become the universal symbol of breast cancer, illustrating the cause, raising awareness and bringing together women in solidarity," the police department announced on its official Facebook page. "From a simple piece of ribbon affixed with a pin, we are able to show our support for loved ones battling breast cancer and our hope for a brighter future."
