In 1854, the City of Green Bay was chartered by the Wisconsin State Legislature. In August of 1857, the Green Bay Police Corps was established. Today, the Green Bay Police Department is a full service law enforcement agency that is organized around an Operations Division, Investigations Division and Support Services.
According to the Green Bay Police Department, “Each year GBPD patrol officers respond to or self initiate well over 80,000 calls for service in the City of Green Bay. That is an average of 219 calls for service per day and equals almost 1 call for service per resident of the city. Although call volumes spike during the warmer weather, the patrol officers handle at least 3,000 calls per month, even in the dead of winter. Patrol officers are responsible for police protection of the city, responding to calls for service, and enforcement of local ordinances and state laws, as well as traffic enforcement and monitoring traffic problems. Patrol officers also investigate reportable traffic crashes.
The city is divided into 10 patrol zones, five on each side of the Fox River. At least one officer patrols each zone. Some units are assigned as camera cars and carry fingerprint kits and other specialized equipment in addition to the normal patrol gear. We have recently added Automatic Defibrillator Units (AEDs) to most cars in our fleet.”
The Investigations Division of the Green Bay Police Department includes units such as Crime Prevention, Detectives, Evidence, Forensic Services, Gangs and School Resources.
The function of the Green Bay Police Department gang officer “is to investigate gang related crimes and complaints, monitor gang members, maintain files on gang information, gather evidence, and arrest wanted gang members. In addition the gang officer passes on intelligence information obtained to members of the department.”

The Treasure Island Police Department was established in 1955. Today, the Treasure Island Police Department consists of 20 sworn police officers and a variety of civilian support personnel. According to the Treasure Island Police Department, there police officers, “typically perform more follow up on their own criminal cases than do officers in larger city or metro area agencies. This allows patrol officers to continually develop their investigative and report writing skills. It also means that TIPD officers are well prepared in court.”
In addition to regular patrol services, the Treasure Island Police Department maintains a Marine Patrol which “is a full time dedicated unit focused on marine enforcement, safety and education. The department utilizes a 24’ Boston Whaler Justice, equipped with twin 200 hp Yamaha engines as well as state of the art radar and chart plotter. During the peak boating season from May until September, and on holidays and weekends, additional officers may be assigned to increase protection and safety. Specially trained officers are assigned to bicycle patrol, which provides a greater degree of access, closeness and increased interaction between the officers and members of the community. The department utilizes several patrol bikes, including three fully equipped Mercedes Mountain Bikes.”

The more than 600 employees of the Hollywood Police Department is organized into two bureaus: Administration and Operations. Within the Operations Bureau are the Patrol Section and Criminal Investigation Division.
The Patrol Section of the Hollywood Police Department is organized into zones which patrol specific areas of the City.

The Officers take pride in the neighborhoods they are responsible for and enjoy meeting residents and business owners.”
The Patrol Section of the Hollywood Police Department “handles the majority of the 140,000 police service calls which occur in the City each year. In addition to responding to calls for service, Officers self-initiate police action by actively searching for and arresting individuals involved with drugs, prostitution, burglary, robbery, theft, gang activity, and other miscellaneous criminal activities. The Patrol Units are also the first to arrive on scene at all critical incidents. Patrol Units who initially arrive at critical incidents handle the incidents directly or, if additional support is necessary, will stabilize the situation until support services, such as the Special Operations Section, the Criminal Investigations Division, the S.W.A.T. Team, or the Crime Scene Unit arrive to continue the investigation.”
The Criminal Investigations Division of the Hollywood Police Department “is comprised of the Investigative Services Section, Vice, Intelligence, and Narcotics Unit, Crime Suppression Team, and the Crisis Negotiation Team. The Investigative Services Section is responsible for the investigation of Homicides, Robberies, Sexual Assaults, Child Abuse, Domestic Violence, and Animal Neglect and Abuse cases, as well as property crimes such as Burglary, Arson, Theft, and Fraud.”

According to the Gainesville Police Department, “The City of Gainesville received its name in September, 1853, when the County Commission provided a site for a new town and moved the County Seat of Alachua County from what was once Newnansville. Gainesville was named in honor of General Edmund Pendleton Gaines who was the captor of Aaron Burr and who commanded the forces fighting against the Indians during the Second Seminole War.
The City of Gainesville was incorporated on April 15, 1869, with a mayor and council-style government. That same month, the first town marshal, P. Shemwell, was elected, with 56 of the 93 votes polled. In 1919, the title of Marshall was changed to Chief of Police, a title which was more honorary than actual, for the department consisted of one man - the Chief.”

In 1967, the Florida Legislature merged the responsibilities of several state criminal justice organizations to create the Bureau of Law Enforcement. The Bureau began with 94 positions, headed by a Commissioner who reported to the Governor, certain Cabinet members, two Sheriffs, and one Chief of Police. In July 1969, after government restructuring, the Bureau became the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Today, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is headed by a Commissioner who is appointed by the Governor and approved by the Cabinet. Headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida Department of Law Enforcement employs nearly 2,000 members statewide who work at the department’s seven Regional Operations Centers, 15 field offices and seven crime laboratories. The members of Florida Department of Law Enforcement are guided by four fundamental values as they respond to the needs of Florida’s citizens and criminal justice community: service, integrity, respect, and quality.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is structured to deliver services in five program areas: Executive Direction and Business Support Program; Criminal Investigations and Forensic Science Program; Florida Capitol Police Program; Criminal Justice Information Program; and, Criminal Justice Professionalism Program.
Through the Criminal Investigations and Forensic Science Program, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement provides investigative, forensic, and protective services to local, state, and federal agencies. The Investigations and Forensic Science Program provides Investigative Services, Public Assistance Fraud Services, Mutual Aid and Protective Services, and Crime Laboratory Services.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement conducts independent investigations and coordinates multi-jurisdictional and special criminal investigations with local, state, and federal authorities in four key investigative focus areas: major drugs, violent crime, public integrity, and fraud/economic crime. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement provides specialized investigative assistance for computer crime cases, and gathers and shares intelligence information with other criminal justice agencies through the Office of Statewide Intelligence. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement also serves as the agency responsible for coordinating and directing counter-terrorism efforts for the state of Florida, and works closely with the Division of Emergency Management and other federal, state, and local agencies to implement Florida’s Domestic Security Strategy. This includes the coordination of the state’s seven Regional Domestic Security Task Forces, which are co-chaired by The Florida Department of Law Enforcement Special Agents in Charge and Florida Sheriffs and serve as the foundation of Florida’s integrated efforts for homeland security.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement also investigates fraud and abuse in Florida’s public assistance programs. Primarily, these investigations are in the cash assistance, food stamp, Medicaid, school readiness and subsidized child day care programs. Investigations are conducted on program recipients, employees of the various assistance programs suspected of compromising their official positions, and providers of day care services.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office employs approximately 1,600 police officers, 700 correctional officers and 700 civilian personnel in five departments: Department of Patrol and Enforcement; Department of Investigation and Homeland Security; Department of Police Services; Department of Personnel and Professional Standards; and the Department of Corrections.
The patrol function of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office falls under the direction of the Department of Patrol and Enforcement. It is divided between Patrol Division East (Zones 1, 2, and 3) and Patrol Division West (Zones 4, 5, and 6). Police Officers assigned to the Patrol Divisions are the "first responders" to a call for police service. Patrol is generally considered the backbone of a police agency, not only because it is the largest component of the organization but also due to the variety of calls the officers handle. The Police officers respond to reports of crime, conduct traffic control and enforcement, perform many community policing functions and contribute to the investigative role through diligent follow-up. Each Patrol Division is directed by a chief.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Department of Corrections is made up of 686 certified corrections officers and civilian personnel and encompasses three correctional facilities for the secure, humane, corrective and productive detention of individuals incarcerated in Duval County. The largest of these facilities is the John E. Goode Pretrial Detention Facility (PDF) located in downtown Jacksonville, adjacent to the Police Memorial Building and conveniently located near the Duval County Court House. A state-of-the-art facility when opened in April 1991, the PDF is a twelve-story building with an inmate capacity of 2,189. All individuals arrested in Duval County pass through the portals of the PDF where they are booked on their criminal charges. Prior to a first appearance hearing many individuals will be released through various legal avenues. Individuals not eligible for release will be housed at PDF until disposition of the criminal charges.

The Special Operations Bureau of the Cape Coral Police Department includes the Traffic Unit and the Marine Unit.
Like some major law enforcement agencies, the Cape Coral Police Department is experimenting with the use of data and crime analysis as a means of managing and direct police operations. According to the Cape Coral Police Department, “COPSTAR is the Cape Coral Police Department’s (CCPD) version of the New York Police Department’s (NYPD) successful and renowned CompStat (Computerized Statistics) program. CompStat was developed by NYPD as a strategy that employs a results-oriented approach by its managers to reduce crime and better serve its constituents.
As a means to increase the flow of information between its executive staff and the commanders of operational units, NYPD began conducting weekly Crime Control Strategy Meetings. The meetings serve as a forum in which command level personnel communicate the problems they face to the agency’s top executives and share their successful crime reduction tactics with other commanders. From these meetings, NYPD administrators developed principles for reducing crime and strategies for actually carrying out the reduction of crime.”
