The time has come for our 2nd Annual Beards for Babies aka “No Shave November”!!!
Starting November 1st Chief Carson will temporarily suspend our department policy that restricts the wearing of beards. Any male officer that would like to voluntarily take part in the “Beards for Babies”, may do so by making a tax-deductible minimum donation of $50.00 to Saint Louis Crisis Nursery. We do not want to leave our female officers out, so for their donation, they will be allowed to wear blue or red colored (Saint Louis Crisis Nursery’s colors) fingernail polish while in uniform. Normally only clear coat finger nail polish is allowed.

Chief Carson believes that building a strong relationship with the businesses within our community is important, stating “We wanted to do something charitable, preferably for children and families, and at the same time support organizations that are in our community.” We are hoping to build a stronger community, by helping build stronger families.
We encourage friends and family members to get involved by donating and/or sponsoring an officer. This is a great way to spread awareness and donate to a great cause that has been based in Maryland Heights since 2008.
