ast month, 20 members of the Florham Park Police
Benevolent Association #78 decided to take the
plunge and grow their facial hair for the fight against
cancer. It started last year when two officers decided to just
grow moustaches in support of the No Shave November
cause. Since mustaches are permitted on the police force
they didnt need to ask for special permission in order to
participate.
This year, however, the participating officers asked for
permission to grow beards in support of the cause. Police
Chief Robert Trieber not only gave permission but joined
the cause as well, choosing to grow a goatee.

some a moustache, he says. The beards need to be neat
and trimmed and were expected to be shaved off on Dec.

which was then matched by the PBA. So for each officer
that participated the base money raised was $50.
According to Trieber these funds have been added to by
private citizens and business. Its not just about raising
