On August 19, 2024, the Parsons Police Department was honored to receive a generous donation of Guardian Angel personal emergency lights from CST Industries. The donation was presented by CST employees Plant Manager Steve Trimble, Controller Jene Shields, and Dana Casper to Police Chief Robert Spinks, Patrol Lieutenant Kyle Wiford, and several Parsons police officers.
The Guardian Angel wearable safety lights are state-of-the-art devices designed to enhance the safety of law enforcement officers, first responders, and others working in hazardous environments, especially at night.

Chief Robert Spinks expressed his gratitude for the donation, saying, "This generous gift from CST Industries not only demonstrates their commitment to our community but also directly contributes to the safety of our officers. Priced at over $4,000 these Guardian Angel lights are more than just tools-they're lifelines that will help ensure our officers return home safely to their families after every shift. We are deeply thankful for CST's support and partnership."
Patrol Lieutenant Kyle Wiford also commented on the impact of the donation, stating, "The Guardian Angel lights have been exceptionally well received by our officers. Their hands-free functionality and visibility are game changers in the field, especially during nighttime operations. We're ready to see how these lights will make a difference in keeping our officers safe."
The Parsons Police Department extends its heartfelt thanks to CST Industries for their generous donation and ongoing support of the department's mission to protect and serve the community. The addition of these Guardian Angel lights will undoubtedly enhance officer safety and operational effectiveness.
