Laval Police and 9-1-1 call centre staff shaved their locks off last week to help raise money for cancer research.<\/p>\n

Besides showing solidarity with cancer patients, who often temporarily lose their hair during treatment, the police officers recruited sponsors for their brief gesture of baldness.<\/p>\n

During their Cops Against Cancer kickoff downtown at Complexe Desjardins in downtown Montreal, Feb. 7, Laval Police handed over $11,500 that they had raised from friends, family and colleagues, to fight the deadly disease.<\/p>\n

According to Sgt. Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Jean, that\u2019s just the start. Police officers are hoping that the public will follow their lead and contribute to the cause.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe campaign will be continuing throughout the month, so you have until Feb. 28 to make a donation,\u201d Sgt. Jean told The Suburban.<\/i> \u201cTo do so, simply go online and visit the Cops Against Cancer web page by typing www.bit.ly\/K013Mq<\/a> in your web browser.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the meantime, we would like to congratulate everyone who was involved and thank all those who have already contributed,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

Across Canada, similar shave-a-thons have raised more than $50 million to advance the Canadian Cancer Society\u2019s research, prevention programs and support services.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nLaval\u2019s new Police Chief Pierre Brochet (centre) led by example and shaved his head bald to raise $11,500 for the Canadian Cancer Society, Feb. 7, together with (left to right) 9-1-1 operator Michel Kanou, Deputy Chief Michel Guillemette, 9-1-1 operator Patrick Farmer and canine squad Sgt. \u00c9ric Dub\u00e9, who was joined by his still-furry partner Narco. Now they\u2019re asking you to follow suit and donate too. The haircut is optional.<\/b><\/div>\n
