We also provide a wide variety of programs through an extensive crime prevention program that includes a Hispanic Liaison Officer, Southeast Asian Liaison Officer, Neighborhood Watch, Crime Stoppers, Beat the Heat, and several clinics and presentations on child safety and fingerprinting. The best way to reduce crime is to prevent it from occurring in the first place.
As part of our continuing effort to interact with the community, the department has developed very popular programs such as the Citizens Police Academy, Police Media Academy, Senior Citizens Academy, Latino Teenage Citizens Police Academy, and the Hmong Teenage Citizens Police Academy. For the training of newly hired police officers, Green Bay relies on its Field Training Officer Program, which is widely used as the instructional model for other agencies.
