WDJT CBS 58 News is reporting on an interesting strategy by one Wisconsin town’s police chief to curtail crime. Yesterday, Chief Peter Hoell took to the Germantown Police Department’s Facebook page and gave his “commentary.”

It IS going to be cold in Germantown today, our friends at Yahoo! Weather are giving a high only going up to 2 degrees. The wind chill will make it feel like minus 25 degrees. So, cold. If this works, I can imagine a lot of police chiefs are going to want to give this a shot. Personally speaking, because of this Facebook message I know I won’t be committing any crimes in Germantown, Wisconsin today.

Peter Hoell regularly takes to the Germantown PD’s social media account to leave notes to the people he serves. Gotta say, he seems like he might be an awesome police chief. Here are some of his highlights:
