Branson Police Dept
The City of Branson is a very unique small city that traditionally attracts millions of visitors annually. 2019 tourism estimates suggest between seven and nine million visitors/tourist visited Branson that year. 2020 estimates will be significantly less, but still considerably higher than resident populations. Branson is a family-friendly tourist destination that attracts visitors from across the country and represents a diverse cross-section of the United States population. The Branson Police Department has well established policy prohibiting racial profiling and biased based decisions. Department processes include supervisory oversight of officer reports, citizen contacts, and traffic enforcement. Again, Branson is a relatively small community that is also the business/retail activity hub for the trilakes region, and hosts millions of visitors annually. Daily population often grows to 100,000 and above as does vehicle traffic. Our traffic counts significantly increase with increased visitors as Branson has no mass transit options.
