The Green Bay Police Department provides all security for the Green Bay Packers home games, with a minimum of 80 officers assigned to each game. Officers also have the opportunity to perform grant-funded work on OWI enforcement patrols and speed waves. There are also state-funded projects, which include Cops in Shops. The City of Green Bay Police Department is one of the best trained departments in the state. Training facilities include an indoor range and an outdoor range featuring a live shoot house.
Officers also utilize a local Cinetronic range for skill enhancement.
New Green Bay Police Officers are initially trained and evaluated through the guidelines of a nationally acclaimed FTO program and continue to receive specialty training over and above state mandated levels throughout their career. The Communication Center was a forerunner of the model for state programs. The fitness center, available to all department employees, was made possible by donations from area businesses, including the Green Bay Packers. All squads are being equipped with a laptop, stop sticks and computer-assisted dispatch. Once candidates are placed on the eligibility list, a thorough police background, psychological assessment, physical exam and polygraph are also required before a candidate is hired.
