(BRANSON, MO, November 27, 2024) The Branson Police Department is excited to announce the return of Operation Blue Santa, an initiative designed to spread holiday cheer and bring smiles to children through the Branson community. The department is currently collecting donations of new, unwrapped toys through December 3, which will be handed out by officers to children and families they meet during the holiday season.
