Great Work on Home Safety Assessments

The Department got some great feedback from a Whitefish Bay Resident who recently had Community Relations Officer David Glanz conduct a Home Safety Assessment. 

"Mr. Glanz far exceeded our expectations...he went out of his way to ensure my son with special needs felt special, something that will always resonate with us. I can't say enough good things about David and this program." - Dana
