Parsons swears in a pair of local doctors as volunteer reserve police officers.

 Doctors Ben Legler and Delyna Bohenblust were sworn in at last week's Parsons City Commission meeting at volunteer Reserve Police Officers. Police Chief Robert Spinks says the doctors will be handling assignments dealing with health and first aid.

Spinks adds that he hopes the pair will soon add FEMA credentials to their resumes so they will be able to help with nationwide events, should they be needed. Legler and Bohenblust were sworn in to their new roles by Parsons Mayor Eric Strait.
