When the Uniform Turns Pink in North Dakota: Williston Officers Join the Cause

October is here, and that can only mean one thing—pumpkin spice everything. Well, okay, maybe it also means fall leaves, football weekends, and cooler weather. But October is also about awareness—specifically Breast Cancer Awareness. That’s right, the month of pink has arrived, and it’s one of the few times of the year when you can wear hot pink socks with pride, and nobody bats an eye.

The Williston Police Department is joining in on the cause too, and they’re looking sharp doing it. All month long, you’ll notice officers swapping out their usual badges for pink ones. The message is clear: they stand united in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

It’s a reminder that the fight against breast cancer impacts everyone—our neighbors, friends, families, and even those who serve and protect us. By wearing pink badges, the department is showing solidarity and sparking conversations about the importance of early detection, support, and hope.

So this October, look for those pink badges, cheer for football, sip your pumpkin latte, and don’t forget to wear pink. After all, awareness never goes out of style.
