The City of Anytown, with a population of just over 250,000, is a growing city in Mississippi. The city of Anytown in the year of 2008 showed a 50% increase in population since 2000. According to the last census, Anytown has moved into the 4th largest city in Mississippi. Anytown is the county seat of Best County and home to the two universities, with a student population of over 20,000. The Anytown Police Department has now grown to 85 sworn officers with 15 civilian support staff.

Anytown has seen an increase in population within the city and an increase in enrollment at the universities. Anytown is also home to 3 public high school, 1 private high school, 12 public primary/middle schools and 4 private primary/middle schools.

During the school year, Anytown is host to thousands of visitors for various reasons including sporting events, concerts, festivals and business events. Art and music festivals bring a large number of visitors to the area. Estimated attendance at the festivals was 130,000.

During the past year, more bar and club establishments have been opened, cold beer sales were approved by the board of aldermen and bar hours were extended on the weekends as well in recent years. With the wide variety of the types of clubs, the nightlife in Anytown the impaired problems have grown and multiplied. The increased number of residents and visitors along with the extended club hours has increased the number of tickets and DUI citations consistently over the past years.

In addition to the increase in population at various times throughout the year, the City of Anytown also has four major highway systems that intersect inside the corporate limits. These are US Highway 32 and US Highway 58 that are east west highways, and MS Highway 81 and MS Highway 11 that are north south highways. Three of the above mentioned highways are four lane highways with one being both four and two lane in some areas.

FY16 Grant Application According to the Mississippi Department of Transportation statistics for 2006, there are over 200,000 vehicles that travel through our municipality each day. These highways along with our city streets are becoming more dangerous due to the increasing number of traffic offenses being committed such as speeding, DUI, and other offenses that lead to traffic accidents.

Prior to the full implementation of traffic assisted grants in the city Anytown saw between 2-4 fatalities on a yearly basis, but has increased substantially during 2013.

Anytown has also seen a drastic increase with under the influence of either illegal or prescription narcotics. Due to this new trend APD sent two officers to training in the field of Drug Recognition with one member now being invited to become an instructor in this field. This additional knowledge has held in identifying those driving impaired for either alcohol or narcotics.

With our continued efforts we are starting to see a decrease from year to year in Motor Vehicle accidents in our city. We attribute this to the increased enforcement that our officers attempt every day. The Anytown Police Department will continue to be proactive in DUI Enforcement.

The city of Anytown is located in Best County. Anytown, MS had (150) crashes in 2013, which consisted of (90) injury crashes, (75) property damage crashes, (26) fatal crashes and (20) were alcohol related. The agency made (1,250) DUI arrest in 2013 and (600) grant funded DUI arrests.

Anytown has four (4) bars in the area and a holds 3 outdoor concert festivals each year, which bring several thousands of festival attendees into the area. The festivals do allow alcoholic beverages and there has a lot been a presence of drugs as well.

The population of Anytown includes a large population and students that visit or attend the local universities. When sporting events are held in conjunction with the campus as well tens of thousands visit from outside the city bring these numbers up even more.
