Ridgewood Police To Shave Beards In Glen Rock For Charity Sunday

RIDGEWOOD, NJ — Village police officers may have looked a little unkempt and unprofessional this month. But there is a good reason why.

Officers from the Ridgewood Policeman's Benevolent Association Local 20 grew their beards out for No Shave November. The national campaign that encourages men to forgo shaving and grooming to encourage conversation about cancer and encourage others to get cancer screenings done.

The Ridgewood PBA Local 20 raised more than $3,000 for various cancer-related charities recently. Sunday's Shave Off will raise money for a village family who recently experienced the unexpected death of a loved one.

Ridgewood, along with Wyckoff and Franklin Lakes, police officers will be at Iconic Barbershop in Glen Rock beginning at 8 a.m. for the shave off.
