Green Bay Police getting more money to combat gun violence

Green Bay Police may be getting more money to battle an increase in gun violence. The city’s Finance Committee approves 850-thousand dollars in technology purchases for the department. Those include a gunshot detection system, a machine to examine shell casings, more money for recruiting of additional patrol officers, and a new surveillance trailer. Six-hundred-55-thousand of those expenses will be covered by American Rescue Plan Act funds. Green Bay has seen a dramatic increase in shooting incidents this year–including three involving the same house on Hubbard Street in the space of two weeks.
