When President Donald Trump visited Springfield in September, the city got to work.

Springfield police, alongside officers from other law enforcement agencies, monitored the crowds. Public Works employees blocked off roads near Missouri State University's JQH Arena with snowplows.

Trump's visit cost the city of Springfield $123,944.92, with the largest portion going toward employee overtime pay for the police department, according to numbers provided by a city spokeswoman.

Here's the breakdown:

Airport — $12,707.02

Emergency Communications — $924.55

Environmental Services — $2,013.96

Fire — $8,831.78

Parks — $819.38

Police — $82,305.87

Public Works — $16,342.36

Greene County "absorbed" the cost, meaning it didn't cost taxpayers any extra to pay for the deputies who staffed the event, Cpl. James Craigmyle, spokesman for the Greene County Sheriff's Office, previously told the News-Leader.

Craigmyle said the office doesn't offer overtime pay. Deputies who worked the event adjusted, or flexed, their hours through the workweek, he said. If they could not, they accumulated extra time off to be taken at a later date.

Trump's prior visit, in August 2017, cost the city $7,400.

The event, held at Loren Cook, was smaller and not open to the public. The facility had seating for 1,200 people. An estimated additional 2,000 people rallied on the streets, either to oppose or support Trump.

Last year, Tracy Kimberlin, the president of the Springfield Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the presidential visit drew out-of-town visitors, likely giving local businesses a boost.

The same thing happened again this year, but on a larger scale.

On Sept. 21, thousands of people — some who live hours away — came to MSU's campus to see the president rally with Republican Senate candidate Josh Hawley.

A few hundred protesters led chants and hoisted signs outside of the venue's entrance.

JQH Arena, which has a capacity of about 11,000, filled up long before everybody in line could get in.

Local officials' crowd estimates — for the number of people inside and outside the arena — range from "at least" 12,000 to about 14,000.

The night of the rally, Trump said in an interview with local news station KY3 that "there's like 20,000 people outside" of the rally. Later, when boasting about the large audiences his appearances have drawn across the country, he claimed 44,000 people were outside of JQH Arena.
