NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – The Slidell Police Department will be participating and challenging others to participate in “No Shave November”.
Slidell’s Police Chief Randy Smith has approved that his officers can now stop shaving for the month of November if they pledge to donate $25 to an organization that promotes cancer awareness, research, or support.
“The idea is to raise awareness for men’s health concerns, particularly prostate cancer, where one in six men will be diagnosed in their lifetime with the disease,” Smith said.
The Slidell officers are also looking to gain support from the local community to “Put down the razors for a month” and participate in the good cause.
Throughout the month, officers and citizens who choose to participate will be featured on Facebook in order to show off their “cop staches”!
