Posted September 30, 2024

Captain/Director Silvio Bet announced today that the Montgomery Township Police Department will show its support of Breast Cancer Awareness by wrapping a police vehicle in pink for the month of October.

Hunterdon Health is supporting the initiative by funding the wrapping of the Montgomery police vehicle, which will be used for community engagement and awareness during the month of October.

The pink wrapped vehicle will contain a QR code provided by Hunterdon Health containing a direct link to schedule a mammogram. The goal is to educate through awareness and provide resources for screening, understanding that early detection is the key to more treatment options and better success rates.

Cap. Bet said he and Hunterdon Health are committed to continually working to enhance awareness, support, and utilization of resources within our communities.
