"If you happen to see several bearded patrol officers, investigators, community service officers, dispatchers, or command staff members, be sure to compliment them on their fantastic new hair growth! It’s all for a good cause!" the department said. "At the end of the event, the standard facial hair policy will be reinstated (until next year). Here at the Edwardsville Police Department, we care very much for our neighbors throughout the city. Edwardsville Neighbors is a fantastic organization that we are proud to support."
