The Maple Grove Police Department has taken a new initiative to confront domestic violence within the community by launching the Purple Patch Initiative. The program, operated by the Maple Grove Police Association, is reaching out to the public for support through the sale of themed merchandise. According to the Maple Grove Police Department, interested individuals can purchase an 'End Domestic Violence' patch or mug, with all proceeds going towards domestic violence prevention efforts.
For those wishing to contribute to the initiative, patches are priced at $10 and mugs at $12. There's also, an option to bundle them for a total of $20, as per the Maple Grove Police Department. The items are available for purchase at the Maple Grove Police Department headquarters located at 12800 Arbor Lakes Parkway – with the department only accepting cash or checks for these items. This fundraising effort highlights the ongoing commitment by law enforcement to not only address domestic violence after it happens but to proactively work towards preventing its occurrence.
