KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Dozens of Kansas City-area first responders have been hard at work all week while preparing to honor fallen Fairway officer Jonah Oswald.

In order to plan a parade of police cars and candlelight vigil for Oswald, some have been working over 12 hour days, according to the Lenexa Police Department.
