Common Violations
University Police officers strive to create a safe environment for all members of the campus community and prevent unlawful behavior. If unlawful activity is discovered, officers use discretion to address the violation with most the appropriate type of enforcement action. Based upon the type of conduct, this enforcement action can range from a verbal warning to arrest.
Good Samaritans
You may be reluctant to call us if you have engaged in unlawful activities. However, University Police will emphasize safety over enforcement action when called to address these activities. As police officers, our number one priority has been, and always will be, the protection of life.
Officers will act in accordance with the UW-Green Bay's Medical Amnesty Policy (SA 43-22-1) when feasible. A common example of this is when a person is experiencing an adverse reaction to a restricted controlled substance, like alcohol and needs intervention. University officers have a great deal of enforcement discretion, and there are very limited situations where state law requires an officer to take enforcement action. All enforcement action will be done at the lowest level and in most reasonable way possible, taking into consideration the totality of the circumstances.
Arrest & Citation Data
University Police use Brown County Circuit Court for all offenses, not a municipal court. Accordingly, all arrest and citation data is available on Wisconsin Court System Circuit Court Access Program (CCAP). Citation amounts are assigned by the State of Wisconsin using a uniform bail and deposit schedule. In the event of a custodial arrest, officers will use the Brown County Jail to incarcerate individuals until they can appear before the courts. University Police won't release information about ongoing criminal investigations unless required to do so by law.
