The Parsons Police Department has launched a new program to keep registered offenders in compliance with their required conditions of release or sentencing. In late 2021, the department’s officers became concerned after an audit of registered offenders in Parsons found 44% in violation of registration requirements. Acting Commander Kyle Wiford developed what would become the Parsons Registered Offender Program. Wiford worked with selected patrol officers, the Labette County Sheriff’s Office and the Labette County Attorney’s Office to develop the process and procedures for PROP.
