In recent weeks, the Parsons Police Department has been able to make much needed updates to the computers in their patrol cars. This was a part of a large-scale project that was initiated by Parsons Police Chief Robert Spinks to keep up with the technology trend in policing nationwide.

Making investments in technology have helped to keep the department up to date with the advances in law enforcement. Parsons Police Department can now share criminal information with these Sheriff’s office in Labette County, Bourbon County, Cherokee County, and police departments in Frontenac, Fort Scott, Galena, and Garnett.

The Parsons Police Department is also currently working on a new website for the public to use which will allow citizens the ability to sign up for police alerts, crime prevention messages and emergency management information. Its launch is coming in just a few short weeks.
