The first award was an individual Investigative Award that was presented to Scott Callaway. Scott worked a complex burglary and theft investigation that was repeatedly impeded by false leads provided by the suspect, but eventually led to convictions on numerous crimes in multiple counties. The effort and determination Scott showed during this investigation was remarkable, and he willingly endured significant personal sacrifices to ensure a successful outcome.

The second award was an Outstanding Teamwork Award presented to a group of our employees for their roles in the Hollywood Cinema robbery on Easter Sunday, 2011. We shared this award with officers from the Appleton PD, Town of Menasha PD, Outagamie County Sheriff's Department, and the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department. Recognized for their performance in this investigation were: Aaron Schellinger, Amanda Dempsey, Austin Weisnicht, Benjamin Kons, Brad Kuehl, Cindy Trombly, Derek Reiter, Ian Gollner, Jim Bargenquast, Josh Bohlen, Katie Keuler, Mike Renkas, Mike Velie, Scott Callaway, Scott Steinke, Shawn Enneper and Todd Zolkowski. Accepting the award on behalf of the group were Aaron Schellinger, Katie Keuler, Mike Renkas, Scott Callaway, and Brad Kuehl.

Please congratulate all of the award recipients, both on the outstanding effort and the well deserved recognition. Thank you for the professional manner in which you've represented the GCPD!!
