In past years, No Shave November was observed by members of the Parsons Police Department. With the COVID-19 pandemic and mask mandates for officers, that tradition was halted. This year, officers can choose to participate in this tradition. Officers and staff members allowed to participate in this year’s No Shave November event will contribute to the department’s Shop with a Cop program, which helps support underprivileged children in the community. Working in conjunction with the Duke Mason Band and other community members and organizations, the department, with the help of Labette County Sheriff’s Office, Kansas Highway Patrol, Parsons Fire Department and Labette County EMS, 25 children got to shop with first responders last year.
