Six Whanganui bobbies are going bald on Thursday at Majestic Square to support a teen cancer society.
One hundred police staff from the Central District are uniting in a campaign that aims to raise $10,000 for CanTeen - a fundraiser the police force did 21 years ago.
Whanganui's child protection detective, Paul Burn, will be joining five of his colleagues to shave their locks.
The father-of-two said he couldn't imagine what it would be like to have a child go through cancer let alone be the child suffering.
"I had a mate who got cancer in his teens. It went away and then it came back when he was in his 30s and he died just recently so he has been on my mind a lot while I've been fundraising."
