The Decatur Police Department raised thousands of dollars through their No-Shave November efforts to help two fellow lawmen battling medical issues.
The month-long campaign raised $3,000.
The collections will be donated to U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Jim England and Morgan County Sheriff s Office Investigator Caleb Brooks.
England is fighting cancer while Brooks is in the hospital following a small-intestine transplant after being gored by a bull.
