The Parsons Police Department and Labette County Sheriff's Office entered into an agreement earlier this week in hopes of bettering the entire county. Parsons City Commission voted unanimously to support a "mutual aid agreement". Parsons Police Chief Robert Spinks says there are four key points to the agreement that sets up how assistance is handled during a natural or man made disaster, and it codifies information sharing between the agencies, allowing cooperation for training. Now Parsons police are cross-deputized so they may work outside the city when needed. The mutual aid agreement is now in effect.
