Is Police Work For You?
Do you like being involved with people? Are you looking for the kind of work that actually brings you into contact with basic human problems? Do you enjoy working as a responsible and respected member of a closely knit and well organized team? If so, the Parsons Police Department will be glad to welcome you as a new member.
The work can, on occassion, be exciting. It may even sometimes have an element of danger. But all the time you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping to protect your community. You will be playing your part in building good relations between the police and the public you serve. You will make new and worthwhile friendships, and each hour you spend on duty will teach you something you did not know before, about your town, human nature, and even yourself.
