Cops and Barbers started in 2018 by Columbus Police Officer Pete Casuccio and barber Robert Cayson. The goal is to help boys in the inner city start the school year right while providing them with a positive perspective on police by giving the boys haircuts and new school supplies. Pete and Rob made it a two-day event and have gone from helping 20 kids to over 400 boys at four different sites around Columbus. They hope to expand Cops and Barbers every year, eventually going nationwide.
