Parsons to look at MOU for anti-drug task force

The Parsons City Commission will look at a memorandum of understanding to extend an interagency narcotics task force at its Monday meeting. The MOU lists a partnership among the Labette County Sheriff’s Office, the Parsons Police Department, Altamont Police Department, Chetopa Police Department, Oswego Police Department, Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) and the Labette County Attorney’s Office. It focuses on seizing illegal drugs and conducting investigations with the KBI and the Drug Enforcement Agency. It was created in 2019, according to documentation from Parsons Police Chief Bob Spinks. This MOU is no cost to the city or Parsons Police Department. It is a renewal of a previous agreement, said City Manager Debbie Lamb. If approved, it will last until Dec. 31, 2026.
