‘It's the result of a lot of really hard work': Green Bay Police Department officials reflect on 2024 crime report
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – After releasing the 2024 crime report, Green Bay Police Department (GBPD) officials are recognizing the hard work and dedication that contributed to making a difference in the community. 'It's the result of a lot of really hard work by the men and women of the Green Bay Police Department,' said Chief Chris Davis. 'Our police officers, our detectives, our professional staff, our forensics people. One of the things that we know is that we have an above-average clearance rate for some of the most serious crimes, and you only get there by a lot of hard work.' Green Bay airport prepares for influx of travelers ahead of 2025 NFL Draft With property offenses down nearly 11% in 2024, the city recorded its lowest number of known cases in the last decade. Overall, crime across Green Bay declined by 1.58%. Chief Davis told Local 5 that while this is progress, crimes against people have increased, showing there is still more work to be done. 'It looks like that is driven by an increase in domestic violence incidents,' he said. 'If you look at domestic violence incidents over time, they went down for a couple of years prior to last year. So really last year, those have returned to the mean. I want to say it was 512 domestic violence cases last year. That's 512 too many.' Another statistic that stood out to officials was the decrease in auto thefts. 'That became a really big problem over the last few years, and we are seeing some encouraging signs that it's coming down. I think that is a product of a lot of really intentional work to address that issue,' explained Chief Davis. 'We knew that we had a problem with a very small number of repeat offenders that were stealing an inordinate number of cars, and so we focused our effort and our resources on them.' That said, police still want the public to be proactive by safely parking, locking vehicles, and following other safety measures. Port of Green Bay sees first arrival for 2025's shipping season, ship carrying cement Chief Davis credited the department's progress to assistance from partners at the district attorney's office and the courts, but most importantly, the strength of the Green Bay community. 'People support the police, there's a lot of trust in the system, and there's a lot of community agreement on what the GBPD should be doing and what we should be focusing on,' he said. 'All those things come together, and we've seen promising results.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
