A&E’s new series, Ozark Law, offers a front-row seat to the controlled chaos that descends upon the Lake of the Ozarks every summer. The series follows the Lake Ozark and Osage Beach Police Departments as they contend with the dramatic influx of tourists that transforms this normally tranquil region into a bustling party destination. The premiere episode, “Welcome to the Lake,” drops viewers right into the heart of the action during the notoriously busy Fourth of July weekend.
From unruly bar patrons to suspected drunk drivers, Chief Boren and his officers face a non-stop barrage of incidents. The episode focuses on the challenges of maintaining order in a place where the lines between celebration and recklessness often blur. We see Officer Kale Keagy dealing with a potentially dangerous situation on the highway, while other officers navigate the crowded streets and packed bars. Ozark Law provides a raw and unfiltered look at the realities of policing a popular vacation spot.
The series premieres Wednesday, January 8, 2025, at 10:00 PM on A&E.
