A&E’s new reality series, Ozark Law, takes us back to the Lake of the Ozarks, where the summer season brings a unique set of challenges for local law enforcement. In the upcoming episode, “Aquapalooza,” airing Wednesday, January 15th at 10:00 PM, the show turns its attention to the annual Aquapalooza Music Festival. This massive event draws enormous crowds to the lake, transforming the usually tranquil area into a bustling hub of activity.
The influx of tourists creates a considerable strain on the resources of the Lake Ozark Police Department and the Osage Beach Police Department. “Aquapalooza” offers a glimpse into the front lines of policing during this hectic period. We follow Detective Sgt. Mark Kordula and Chief Boren as they tackle the issues that arise with a surge in visitors, particularly focusing on the ever-present problem of underage drinking and the use of fake IDs.
The transition from a quiet community to a crowded tourist destination presents specific difficulties, and “Aquapalooza” seems set to explore those difficulties in detail. With a ten-episode first season, Ozark Law offers a look into the day-to-day operations of keeping the peace in a place where the party never seems to end.
Ozark Law airs Wednesdays at 10:00 PM on A&E.
