😃 Happy Friday, Neenah!
🚓 🔧 Today is National Automotive Service Professionals Day, and is celebrated annually to honor the hard work, skill, and dedication of auto mechanics and technicians who keep our vehicles safe and communities moving.
Meet Greg Howat, our Neenah PD part-time Fleet Manager, who joined our team in 2025. Greg has an extensive background in automotive retail sales and service, including managing dealerships and repair shops.
Having a part-time Fleet Manager enables us to efficiently assess, repair, and maintain the fleet and get the vehicle to the best resource- reducing down time while saving repair costs; inspect and manage each vehicle during its lifecycle to maximize resale at the time of replacement; and ensure all specially outfitted vehicles are properly equipped and in good working order.
Greg manages a fleet of 42 vehicles, trailers, and special use units. The fleet includes marked and un-marked squad cars for Patrol, Investigations, and administrative duties. It also includes K-9 squads, Parking Enforcement, Community Service Aide, Code Enforcement, Community Policing, Traffic Safety Officer, Crime Scene Response Unit and Caiman Rescue Vehicle.
