Its On!... Green Bay Police Chief Andrew Smith makes friendly wager with Detroit Police Chief James Craig on Packers-Lions NFC North Title Game

Green Bay; Today Chief Andrew Smith and Chief James Craig made a friendly wager on this Sunday’s NFC North title game.

Both chiefs spent the majority of their careers as Los Angeles Police Officers, and worked together in 77th Street Division in South Central Los Angeles in the 1990s. They remained friends and while speaking on the phone Tuesday night, made a friendly wager on the upcoming Packers-Lions game. Chief Craig wagered American Coney Island hot dogs from Detroit’s famous American Coney Island restaurant. Chief Smith countered with some of Green Bay’s best fare, including Titletown’s Green 19 beer (6 pack), Ron’s Cheese Curds (from the Cannery) Maplewood Meats Bratwurst, The Attic Coffee Shop’s best coffee and a Green Bay Packer baseball cap.

“With the Packers playing so well, I’m confident our Packers will dominate.” said Chief Andrew Smith. “Detroit is a great city with a proud tradition...except for winning late in the season. With players like Rogers, Nelson, Mathews, Clinton Dix and Adams, the Packers are going clinch the NFC North title.”

Both police department’s posted videos of the friendly wager on their Facebook sites. Go Packers!
