Police Department

October 2021 was the first year that the Duluth Police Department participated in the public awareness campaign, the Pink Patch Project. This year is the fifth consecutive year DPD will be participating in this innovative campaign.

During the month of October, members of the Duluth Police Department will be wearing these commemorative pink patches and/or pink bracelets to raise awareness and show our support for those who are affected by cancer.

The commemorative patches will also be available for the public to purchase for $10/patch during the month of October. You can also purchase a pink koozie for $5/koozie and pink DPD silicon bracelets for $3/bracelet. New this year are t-shirts sold for $20/shirt!

100% of the proceeds raised will go to the American Cancer Society to raise awareness and help the fight against all cancers

In 2021, the Duluth Police Department raised $2,853. In 2022, the Duluth Police Department raised $1,572, $1,000 was raised in 2023, and in 2024, $1,400 was raised. 2025 will be DPD's fifth year participating in the Pink Patch Project and we hope to raise even more towards the American Cancer Society!

Patches can be purchased online at the DPD ACS Event page. If you purchase a patch online, send your receipt to police@duluthmn.gov and we’ll send you your item(s) upon confirmation of purchase, or you can stop at the DPD’s lobby, 2030 North Arlington Ave., from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday and a volunteer will give your patch and/or koozie upon confirmation of your online purchase.

To purchase a bracelet, koozie, or a t-shirt, you can do so at the link here and items will be mailed to you.
