A Parsons Police Department lieutenant completes a Federal Bureau of Investigation program.

Lieutenant Kyle Wiford completes the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Association Trilogy Series. To earn this award, officers must complete three 40-hour training sessions covering principles of leadership. These classes are Supervisor Leadership Institute, Command Leadership Institute and Executive Leadership Institute. Lieutenant Wiford has been with the Parsons Police Department for 15 years. Starting out as a dispatcher he has been a patrol officer, corporal, sergeant, detective sergeant and is currently in charge of the Patrol Division.

Chief Robert Spinks says Lt. Wiford is a leader, mentor and a self-motivated member of the police department’s management team. He says the FBI LEEDA Trilogy Award is an achievement that only a fraction of police officers achieve across the country.
