NFL Draft photos: Police, fire, EMS on the clock

GREEN BAY, Wis. — More than 205,000 people gathered in and around Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers, for the 2025 NFL Draft. Public safety personnel from local, state and federal agencies were on hand to monitor for threats, deter criminal behavior, keep fans safe and provide emergency medical care.

The mass gathering of football fans nearly doubled Green Bay’s population on the first night of the draft on April 24. Green Bay’s 2023 U.S. Census population was 105,744. While the crowd was largely made up of Packers fans, supporters from every NFL team were there — cheering for their team’s picks and booing their opponents.

To secure the event, municipal vehicles, concrete barriers and portable fencing were used to establish a perimeter and create a pedestrian-only zone around the stadium. Law enforcement officers were stationed along the perimeter and at entry points, where private security personnel screened attendees at multiple gates.

Inside the perimeter, law enforcement and fire/EMS personnel patrolled on foot, bike and specialty vehicles. High above the crowd, law enforcement officers occupied overwatch positions to monitor activity from above.

Public safety personnel have been planning for draft security and event response since August 2023.
