I know a lot of members have to be frustrated with me always finding bad cop stories . . . but, here's an outstandingly great cop story.

WAUCONDA - When Officer Eric Schultz started losing his hair from chemo treatment a few weeks ago, he never imagined it would result in the unity he saw Saturday.
......
More than 70 people - the majority police officers from Wauconda and surrounding communities - shaved their heads at WHS Saturday to support Schultz and benefit the St. Baldrick's Foundation, which raises money for pediatric cancer.
........
Some women even got in on the action. Johnna Garrett, a dispatcher at Wauconda cut 10 inches of her jet black hair to donate to Locks of Love, which uses the hair to make wigs for chemo patients.
By the end of the day more than 70 heads had been shaved, and Wauconda police raised an estimated $18,000, which was well above the initial goal of $5,000, said Deputy Chief Patrick Yost.
In a few months the story will get even better. When treatment is complete Schultz is expected to be fitted for a prosthetic foot, and will likely rejoin the force.
