Some New Orleans Police officers will be adding a little color to their uniforms this October.
The NOPD has authorized a special pink New Orleans Police badge for breast cancer awareness.
"These special badges are a symbol of our solidarity with those in our community and within our NOPD family who have battled or are currently battling breast cancer," Superintendent Shaun Ferguson said. "We know that many of our friends and loved ones are fighting against this disease, and we want them to know that we stand with them in love and support."
The department first authorized the badges last year, as an optional purchase through approved vendors.
