“On behalf of the entire Police Department, I want to extend our appreciation and gratitude to all the Department of Public Works staff and especially the snowplow drivers that spent countless hours clearing our streets and making our job easier,” said Green Bay Police Chief Andrew Smith. “Without there tireless efforts, we wouldn’t have been able to do our job. Thank you!”
