The Claremore Police Department recently participated in No Shave November, when officers raised money in exchange for sporting beards for a month. Each officer paid a weekly “fine” of $25, and asked community members for donations.
As a whole, CPD was able to raise more than $14,000, which allowed them to purchase a Christmas gift for every single student at Claremont Elementary. On December 19, several officers (plus Santa) were on hand to distribute the gifts to 400 excited kiddos at Claremont.
