The Carmel Police Department employees once again participated in “No Shave November.” Officers and civilians participated in the program and helped raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Over 100 Carmel Police Department employees raised a total of $7,689 for LLS along with community sponsors.
Carmel Police Chief James Barlow said, “This is our third year to participate in “No Shave November.” We relaxed our grooming standards for a little over a month allowing officers and other employees to participate in the event. This is an awesome way for our Carmel Police family and the community to come together and raise money for such a great cause.”
Nearly 30 officers attended the “Shave Off” event on Sunday, Dec. 2 at Main Street Barber Shop. Main Street Barber Shop opened its doors on Sunday to the Carmel Police Department and officers were treated with a good, old-fashioned beard shaving.
Main Street Barber Shop owner Jason Peek said, “As a Carmel business owner, I wanted to help clean up the officers who were participating in the No Shave November event. Our officers protect us and our community every day and this was one way to thank them for what they do.”
CPD wants to thank the Carmel community for its continued support, especially the following sponsors: Main Street Barber Shop, Integrity Automotive, Carmel High School employees, Carmel Fire Department and Square Donuts.
