October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

This month, we stand in support of those who are bravely fighting breast cancer, those who have survived, and those we remember. Breast cancer has touched the lives of so many families, friends, and members of our community.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a reminder of the importance of early detection, regular screenings, and supporting one another through every stage of the journey. A simple act of encouragement, a conversation, or sharing information can make a real difference.

The Provincetown Police Department proudly stands with everyone affected by breast cancer. Together, we honor the strength, courage, and resilience of those battling this disease and reaffirm our support for continued awareness, education, and research.

You are not alone.

Last Day of September in Provincetown

As we close out the final day of September, we want to take a moment to appreciate another busy and memorable month here in Provincetown.

The seasons may be changing, but one thing that remains the same is the dedication of our officers and staff who are out in the community every day answering calls, checking in with residents and businesses, helping visitors, and doing their part to keep Provincetown safe.

Pictured below is Officer Chenet Guerrier, who can almost always be counted on to have a smile on his face. Whether he is handling a call, talking with someone on Commercial Street, or simply saying hello while out on patrol, Chenet brings a positive attitude and a friendly presence wherever he goes.

Those small interactions and genuine connections with people are a big part of what makes serving Provincetown so meaningful.

As September gives way to October, we hope everyone takes a little time to enjoy the cooler weather, the changing scenery, and everything that makes Provincetown special this time of year.

Thank you to our residents, businesses, visitors, and community partners for continuing to work alongside us.

Stay safe, look out for one another, and enjoy the final day of September.

Our Community. Our Responsibility.
