Birthday Parades Merriam police officers participated in more than 80 birthday parades to help kids enjoy their birthdays during the COVID-19 pandemic. Good news – they'll continue driving in birthday parades post COVID-19! If your child has a birthday coming up and you live in Merriam, let us help you celebrate! Officers will drive by your home with their lights and sirens blaring! Contact Capt. Chris Brokaw at 913-322-5566 or cbrokaw@merriam.org to schedule a police parade.
