They will help shine a light on PTSD and mental health awareness, while on duty.

All Niagara Regional Police officers will have the option to buy and wear a Refuse to Lose toque this month.

Refuse to Lose is an organization, which raises money to help support those with PTSD.

It started in Niagara, and now it's shipping merchandise all over North America.

Refuse to Lose was founded by NRP Constable Phil Sheldon and his wife Tanya.

Sheldon sustained third and fourth degree burns to 50-percent of his body while trying to save a woman's life back in 2015.
