Branson Police Chief to take public questions

The new head of the Branson Police Department wants to hear from the public about anything related to law enforcement in the city.

Police Chief Eric Schmitt is starting “Chat with the Chief,” a question and answer program where he will take questions from the public about police procedures, police policy, community policing, or other related issues and post answers on social media.

“I get questions all the time from members of the public when I’m out and they can talk to me one on one,” Schmitt told Branson Tri-Lakes News. “Many of the questions are about the same subjects, so I thought this would be a good way for the public at large to learn more about what we’re doing and how we hope to make the community safer.”
