Many Webster Parish Sheriff’s deputies will be sporting a little extra facial hair while others may be coloring their hair and nails, but it’s not a revolt against Sheriff Jason Parker’s dress code.

November has been declared “No Shave November” and Sheriff’s Office personnel have been given the opportunity to opt out of the dress code for a good cause. Deputies will change their appearance for a minimum donation of $20, and all the money collected will be donated to a local charity.

“In addition to enforcing laws and ensuring safety of our parish residents, our deputies are community minded individuals and they show this spirit in many ways during the course of their duties,” said Sheriff Jason Parker. “No Shave November is one way we can do something for those in need.”

“This is a fun event, and it’s one that will benefit a local charity. Our goal is to always be ready to provide assistance when it’s needed.”
