Sheriff's office participates in No Shave November

NEWTON — To participate in No-Shave November, Sheriff Michael F. Strada has approved the temporary relaxing of the department's grooming standards for the Bureau of Law Enforcement during the month of November.
The men and women of the Bureau of Law Enforcement will participate in a month-long charity fund raiser in conjunction with No Shave November, a web-based, non-profit organization devoted to growing cancer awareness and raising funds to support cancer prevention, research, and education.
According to their website, the goal of No-Shave November is to grow awareness by embracing hair, which many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow; then donating the money, typically spent on shaving and grooming, to fund education about cancer prevention, saving lives, and aiding those who are fighting the disease. No-Shave November and its funded programs are investing in groundbreaking cancer research and providing free information and services to cancer patients and their caregivers.
Members of the Sussex County Sheriff’s Office, Bureau of Law Enforcement who have donated to No-Shave November and volunteered to grow their facial hair will do so all month long.
