CONWAY — It's going to get hairy at the Conway Police Department next month as officers participate in a fundraiser called Beards for Bucks (Razorless for a Reason) to raise money for the Child Advocacy Center of Carroll County, a non-profit that aids investigations into crimes against children. 

Police Chief Mattei and CAC Executive Director Elizabeth Kelley-Scott on Wednesday spoke to the Sun about the center and the fundraiser, which takes place during the month of October.
