Constable precinct launches breast‑cancer patch and youth outreach 'Green Ninjas' program

Deputy Biche, speaking for Constable Ackerman's office, introduced a pink breast‑cancer awareness patch deputies will wear starting Oct. 1 to honor survivors and raise visibility for early detection. "Wearing this patch does not change how we serve," he said, adding that the patches are intended to show solidarity while deputies continue normal duties.

He also outlined an expanded community‑engagement program called Green Ninjas, which will distribute unique tokens at community events and partner with local businesses to offer gift cards as incentives for youth to collect tokens and engage with deputies. The program is intended to strengthen relationships between law enforcement and young people and encourage public‑safety awareness.
