Livingston Law Enforcement May Get Hairy This Month. Here's Why.

LIVINGSTON, NJ — Is law enforcement going to get a little hairy in Livingston this month? No, it might get a lot hairy.

Each year, members of the Livingston Police Department forgo shaving for a month in order to raise funds and awareness for a good cause.

This year they will be collecting donations for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, they said. That's whom the national No Shave November organization is donating to.

Every day, 13 children and teens are diagnosed with a brain tumor, the deadliest form of childhood cancer, according to the foundation.

As of the start of the month, the local police have raised $125, but the month is young.
