Police Chief Edward Rose relaxed regulations, allowing neatly trimmed beards, for 30 officers who signed on for the drive.

Donations in Arhlich's name came not only from the officers themselves but from civilians assisting the cause.

Ahrlich, 67, lost a battle with cancer last October. He'd lived in the village for more than 30 years.
