The big arms of the Versailles judicial police research and investigation brigade also have a big heart.
Since the beginning of October, the association of this elite service has been selling collector products: t-shirts, mugs and a badge, as part of the Pink October operation, intended to fight against breast cancer.
This event, which has existed for 27 years, is dedicated to the fight against this cancer.
From October 1 to 31, health professionals, NGOs and associations gathered around the world for information on screening for this disease.
Doctors estimate that one in eight women will be affected in her lifetime.
With 60,000 new cases per year in France, this pathology remains the leading cancer in women and the most fatal.
Detected at an early stage, nine out of ten women recover within five years, hence the importance of prevention.
Donations will be made to a local association
At the beginning of the month, the police officers of the DRPJ of Versailles decided to espouse this cause by marketing their favorite objects colored in pink.
“We offer them via Facebook or Instagram and then people contact the friendly by email,” explains an official.
Success is there.
We hope to collect between 3,000 and 4,000 euros before the end of the month ”.
The specialists in spinning and strong arrests have not yet chosen the association that will benefit from their generosity.
But they would like it to be a small local structure that helps women in the region.
