The Baxter Springs Police Officer’s are turning in their badges for new pink ones in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. “Last year several people walked up to officers and shared stories related to their experience with breast cancer. Some as the victim and others as the family or friends of someone that suffered with breast cancer. These badges are a tool to open communication between citizens and officers and spark conversations that may not be had otherwise,” said Chief Henderson. The department says the pink badges are a way for the officers to show support to those that are currently battling breast cancer or to the families that have lost someone to the disease.
