BRANSON, Mo – The Branson Police Department is now accepting applications for its 2022 Citizen Police Academy, a program in which community members are offered an opportunity for a deeper understanding of the mission, values and operations of the Branson Police Department.

Participants will learn about a wide range of topics including police patrol procedures, criminal investigations, crime scene processing, traffic enforcement, DWI enforcement and SWAT.
