The Sturgeon Bay Police Department has seen a few changes in its command structure lately. Last week Captain Dan Brinkman was promoted to the new position of Assistant to the Chief of Police. This left a vacancy at the Captain position, which the Sturgeon Bay Police and Fire Commission filled Tuesday afternoon. Sergeant Investigator Chad Hougaard was promoted to Captain from his investigator position. When asked about filling that investigator position, Police Chief Clint Henry had this to say……
New Captain Hougaard has been with the department since December of 2004. He became the Sergeant Investigator in 2017 following the retirement of former Sergeant Investigator Greg Zager. Sergeant Hougaard now becomes police captain in his 17th year with the department.
