Chief Davis says the Green Bay Police Department got involved with the campaign around right when it started and initially helped promote the campaign with bumper stickers on all of the department's patrol cars.

Green Bay Police Chief Chris Davis With the 2025 NFL Draft quickly approaching, Heim says they are doing something unique with the campaign to attempt to use it differently. Instead of being for just domestic violence victims, Heim says they are using the 'Be Safe' to collaborate with all victim service providers to help support those affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking leading up to and during the Draft. We now want to use this as a platform to support the hundreds of thousands of victims or potential victims that might be coming to our area that need resources but might not necessarily know about which agency does what things.
