Ever wonder what it’s like to be a member of a Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) team or have you seen SWAT deployed to a critical incident in your neighborhood and have questions? Now is your chance to meet with the Green Bay Police Department (GBPD) SWAT team and learn about the required skills to be part of the specialty unit and the decision-making of high-risk calls.
We are partnering with CrossFit Green Bay in a family-friendly community event on Saturday, August 17, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at CrossFit Green Bay - East, 1110 Kepler Drive – Suite 101.
All ages and all abilities are welcome to attend, and general admission is FREE. Those who come will have the chance to learn about the GBPD SWAT team, see officers in action with demonstrations, get up close with GBPD vehicles and equipment, participate in a SWAT Physical Fitness Test sponsored by CrossFit Green Bay (NOTE: $10 registration fee for fitness test to be paid on-site to CrossFit Green Bay), meet with recruitment staff from the GBPD Professional Standards Division and more.
“This event is an opportunity for our residents to learn about the Green Bay Police Department SWAT team and our response, movement, and techniques in an attempt for a safe resolution. We want our community to feel comfortable if there’s a need for us to respond to their neighborhood and to know that we are normal people with normal lives who happen to have a high-risk job,” said Sergeant Mike Luberda, Green Bay Police Department SWAT team member.
The Green Bay Police Department would like to recognize CrossFit Green Bay for generously donating the space for this event.
