Today starts Autism awareness month. For years the men & woman of the Hawthorne Police Department have worn a puzzle piece on their uniform to bring forward awareness to this important issue. With tactical vest carriers, it’s difficult to display a small pin. Our PBA has designed this Velcro patch to better display the cause they support. I’m proud of their initiative, ambition and continued support. I can only wait for their creativity when it comes to other key topics such as mental illness, domestic violence & breast cancer awareness to name a few.
Congrats to PBA President Ian Spohn and the members of NJPBA Local 200.
