GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ)- Green Bay Police will soon turn their focus to the parks as the Green Bay Safe Park initiative kicks off next week.
“Collectively, we can make Green Bay a great place to live.”
Police Captain Kevin Warych says bad behavior can take place in parks, but it is important to keep parks as focal parts of the community.
To do that, officers will be on foot patrol.
“We as a police department want to make sure we are in those parks making sure everyone is behaving, and if they are not, we want to make sure we tell them that their unacceptable behavior is not tolerated.”
Recent efforts to do that have been made at Seymour Park.
“We have had our fair share of problems at Seymour Park recently, but those community policing officers in that district have done remarkable things by taking back that park.”
Warych says the whole idea is to make sure officers are in the parks
The initiative kicks off on June 12.
The Police Department will have a community walk to kick off the event from 1:00 p.m to 4:00 p.m.
