Montgomery police to run pink-wrapped outreach vehicle, highlights free screenings during Breast Cancer Awareness Month

The township committee adopted a proclamation recognizing October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month and emphasizing early detection and screening.

The police chief described a year-long outreach partnership that will include a specially wrapped pink vehicle to raise awareness and connect residents to screening resources. The chief said the vehicle will carry a QR code linking to regional screening and nonprofit resources and that the department will bring it into the community for events. "Our message this October is a simple one: Know your risk, talk to your healthcare provider, and stay current with the screenings recommended for you," the chief said.

The chief listed partner events planned as part of the outreach, including an early-detection screening event hosted by a regional imaging center and fundraising appearances tied to community festivals. Committee members thanked the chief and called the initiative an important way for public safety and health partners to connect residents with resources.
