The Parsons Police Department receives recognition for excellence in policy and training.

PPD was recognized by Lexipol, which provides policy, training, and wellness support for first responders and public servants. The Lexipol Connect program tracks PPD's performance on five metrics proven to measure success in policy management. PPD achieved Gold recognition for consistent and effective policy dissemination to personnel, timely policy updates as laws change, and officer training on policies. This is the department's third gold since 2018.

Police Chief Robert Spinks says they are delivering a standard of excellence through their policy management efforts that reduce the risk for personnel and those they serve.
