More than 90 Gastonia Police Department officers joined No Shave November raising about $3,000 for North Carolina Special Olympics. Chief Robert Helton, back after a month of beard growth, praised the effort while warned he will return to a precise facial hair regime. Community donations and participation from Gaston County agencies boosted totals as officers embraced the campaign and shared information via pamphlets to supporters.
