The Green Bay Police Department is monitoring the peaceful protests this evening. All people have been peaceful as they continue their march. Officers are ensuring the safety of all residents, providing water to those participating and providing traffic control for everyone’s safety.

One thing we are ensuring, is that the attendees be respectful of the Police Memorial in front of the department. This memorial stands for all the officers that paid the ultimate sacrifice before us. We will never forget them as we honor them while serving this great community. Tonight a protester put mulch on the memorial so he could stand on top of it and not slip off.

As soon as this person started this, officers immediately asked him to get down and he complied. GBPD officers (retired and current) and all officers nationwide take great pride in police memorials. Words can not explain the meaning of this memorial. Officers, supervisors, and a person attending the event quickly cleaned the memorial to ensure the fallen officers are respected, honored, and most importantly not forgotten. The department will always support citizens in their right to assemble, we just ask that they do so peacefully and respectfully.
