GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ)- The Green Bay Police Department is celebrating the success of a group of people today, as four new officers are being sworn in to begin their training today.
That’s the next generation, those are our future leaders here” Captain Kevin Warych said. “This group is the first of what could be many officers hired this year, as the department has many openings.”
Warych says it is an exciting day, but it is really just the start.
“The faces of the Green Bay Police Department are going to change in the next few years just due to the amount of people that we are hiring.”
That does not mean they will necessarily be in a rush to fill all open positions.
“We don’t lower our standards just because we have ten openings, we have and keep high standards.”
Warych added it is important to see the younger generation of officers rise to the top.
The department had multiple retirements last year, and are expecting the same this year.
