GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The Green Bay Police Department welcomed 10 new officers Monday.
Overlooking the Fox River, a ceremony was held on City Deck.
“It is really something special to be able to swear in a group of this size. It speaks volumes for a police department when you can recruit and hire so many qualified candidates at one time, bringing us closer to full staff. I am excited about the future of the agency and offer my congratulations to all ten of these new officers. Welcome to the GBPD,” Green Bay police chief Chris Davis.
The new officers are:
- Officer Colton Moore
- Officer Ryan Baumann
- Officer Robert Ganzel
- Officer James Elsinger
- Officer Kyle Kruppstadt
- Officer Omar Patino
- Officer Victoria Loberger
- Officer Madison Voecks
- Officer Mason Saharsky
- Officer Tonya Brice
Each of the new officers received a newly designed badge, which was just issued department-wide courtesy of the Green Bay Police Foundation to honor the department’s heritage.
“This new badge brings back a little bit of history of the Green Bay Police Department by re-introducing a style that had been a long-standing symbol of the GBPD dating back to the early 1900s,” said Chief Davis. “A badge represents more than the law enforcement agency that is inscribed on it. The badge also represents the law enforcement officer that wears it.”
