Notice something a little different about Susanville’s Police officers? The Susanville Police Department’s annual ‘No Shave’ campaign has begun with officers sprouting mustaches, beards and wildly colored hair.
“Once again, Officers and non-sworn staff are putting down their razors, letting down their hair to raise money for a variety of causes,” explains Susanville Public Safety Chief Michael Bengoa-Bollinger.
The ‘No Shave’ campaign is open to all Police Department employees on a month-by-month basis over the next three months.
In exchange for a monthly charitable donation, Bollinger has authorized male officers to grow facial hair outside standard grooming policies. Female officers are allowed to have relaxed hair standards which includes ponytails and dyed hair and allowed to wear certain types of jewelry.
Non-sworn staff will be allowed to participate by growing facial hair, having relaxed hair standards, and relaxed uniform standards.
In October contributions will go to the Northern California Cancer Advocates, in November to the Lassen County Holiday with a Hero program and in December to Camp Ronald McDonald at Eagle Lake.
