Police & Fire Commission 11-5-2026

The City of Green Bay Police & Fire Commission met on November 5, 2026. The commission received and placed on file the budget status report and approved monthly bills, including costs for psychological evaluations and physicals; no dollar amounts or vendors were specified. Reported spending was below annual budget levels: fire recruiting was at about 28%, other fire spending was under 70%, and police spending was at 67%. No contract awards, bids, or vendor selections were discussed.

Department updates covered hiring, anticipated retirements, and staffing. Police officials reported 175 officers, 153 deployable, and projected 181 by year-end, while fire officials described open positions and a pending grant request for a community risk-reduction division chief and community paramedicine staff, subject to budget-time approval. Consultants had provided a very preliminary plan for rearranging the existing police facility; the next step is to finalize it and present options to the City Council. The commission also held a closed session on employee matters and voted to confirm its report upon returning to open session.
