City of Parsons Police Chief Kevin Keplinger said his department has received a donation of bicycle helmets. His department received a total of six helmets that have been placed into the City’s cruisers to be distributed “to targets of opportunity” throughout the City wherever an officer may see children out riding without a helmet.
“We’ll call them over and give helmets out,” Keplinger said.
Keplinger said that he is confident that as those six helmets run low, he should be able to reach out and will be able to find more.
“I’m sure as these helmets go and we’re getting close, we can reach out and get other donations,” Keplinger said.
