Douglas County deputies adhere to strict grooming standards, which include limitations on facial hair. This November, Sheriff Hanlin has temporarily relaxed the facial hair standard in the name of community service. Deputies and staff from all divisions of the Sheriff’s Office will be participating in a fundraiser to raise money to battle cancer, with an emphasis on men’s health. Deputies will be allowed to grow a goatee or beard during the month. In lieu of spending money on facial hair grooming supplies, those funds will be placed into an account managed by the Douglas County Law Enforcement Association. At the end of the month, 100% of the money raised will be donated locally to Roseburg’s Community Cancer Center. Beards and goatees must be neatly trimmed and at no time be longer than one inch when extended straight out from the surface of the skin. Personnel will return to the previous policy terms effective December 1st. If members of the public would like to support the efforts of the staff, donations can be mailed to: DOUGLAS COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSOCIATION, ATTENTION: NO-SHAVE NOVEMBER, PO BOX 1591, ROSEBURG, OR 97470. Please indicate “No-Shave” in the memo line of the check.
