The Parsons Police Department is supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month by wearing pink mourning bands over their badges. These bans are reserved for officers that have passed or were killed on duty. “A normal mouring band is black in color but with pink being the color for breast cancer awareness it is fitting for this month that our mourning bands are pink,” according to Deputy Chief Dennis Dodd. Breast Cancer Awareness Month was created to spread awareness and raise funds for research, prevention, treatment, and finding a cure. The Parsons Police Department is raising awareness to help fellow staff members that have been affected by this deadly disease.
