Chief David LaPlante is pleased to announce that the Raynham Police Department is going pink this October as part of the Pink Patch Project.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and through the Raynham Pink Patch Project, the department will be selling pink versions of the department’s patch. The money raised from the sale of the limited edition patches will be donated to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
The limited-edition pink patches are available to purchase for $10 apiece. Those interested in buying a patch in support of this initiative can do so online, in person or via mail.

Community members can purchase a patch in person at the Raynham Police Department, 53 Orchard St., via check or money order made out to the Dana-Farber Cancer Insitute.
Additionally, residents can send a self-addressed stamped envelope with a check or money order via the United States Postal Service to the Raynham Police Department, ATTN: Sgt. Anthony Barbour.
In addition to selling patches, members of the department will also be wearing a pink patch and insignia to help increase public awareness to help stomp out cancer.
The Raynham Police Department aims to raise $1,000 to benefit breast cancer research as part of its pledge to the Pink Patch Project.
