The Branson Police Department held a pinning service last week, swearing in new officers and civilian personnel, as well as celebrating the promotions of others.
In the touching ceremony held on August 28, the officers and personnel were joined by family and friends, as well as co-workers and members of the Branson Community.
The ceremony commemorated the swearing in of three new Branson Police Officers. Three new civilian staff members were also welcomed, as were two new building security personnel. Six officers received lateral transfers, meaning they were new to the Branson Police Department but not to the world of policing, as they transferred from other agencies. Additionally, two Branson Police Officers received well-deserved promotions to the position of detective within the police department.
A post to the Branson Police Department Facebook page said, "This ceremony is more than just a formality. It's a moment of pride and honor, both for the officer and those involved in their journey, underscoring the responsibility and trust placed in them by the community they are sworn to protect."
According to the Facebook post, the patrol division of the Branson Police Department is now fully staffed, ensuring that the department can continue to serve the community with excellence.
The Facebook post concluded, "Congratulations to all, and welcome to the team. We're excited for the future ahead!"
