Chief Smith is also a graduate of the FBI National Academy, having graduated from session 206. The Green Bay Police Department currently has 4 active FBI National Academy Graduates.
Captain Muraski said, "I feel extremely blessed to have had the opportunity to participate in the preeminent law enforcement training academy. By learning from and networking with law enforcement colleagues from around the nation and the world, I have gained a much broader perspective of the challenges facing law enforcement and society. I strongly believe that this will give me a good foundation for helping to prepare our agency for the many strategic challenges that lie ahead."
Captain Muraski has been with the Green Bay Police Department for 18 years having been hired in March of 1998. Prior to being employed by the Green Bay Police Department he graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Madison with a Bachelor’s Degree in Behavioral Science and Law with a Criminal Justice Certificate.
