Letter From Green Lake County Sheriff Mark Podoll
12 April 2020 News
Dear citizens and visitors of Green Lake County,
The last few weeks have been a challenge for all of us. The COVID 19 pandemic has changed our lives dramatically. The citizens and visitors of Green Lake County have been up to the task! On all accounts you, the people of Green Lake County, have been adhering to the Safer at Home Order issued by the Governor. The result of that is apparent, we are standing strong in the face of this microscopic demon.
The Sheriff’s Office staff continue to work hard in response to the COVID 19 pandemic in an effort to prepare for its arrival and minimize the risks to the community. New procedures and protocols are being developed daily as we continue to identify various means of risk mitigation. Our goal continues to be, protecting the health of our community while continuing to protect and serve you in every way possible.
There are numerous reports of people who are doing extraordinary things to fight this pandemic, from making masks, to donating supplies, to random acts of kindness to support each other. This type of cohesiveness is what makes this country and this community great.
The support you have all shown to us and our first responder partners is truly appreciated, and we know that we cannot be as effective without that support. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed. Your morals and values have shown brightly for all to see.
This battle is not over, and even though our community has not been affected to the same extent as others, we must not become complacent. Stay vigilant, continue to closely follow the Safer at Home Order, follow the CDC guidelines, and keep supporting each other.
Please keep our medical professionals and their support staff in your thoughts and prayers locally and abroad. They are the true heroes of this pandemic and they will need our continued support in the days, weeks and months to come.
I’ve never been more proud of this community. I am honored to be your Sheriff, and incredibly proud of our collective efforts. Keep it up folks!
God Bless our Nation, State, and County,
Mark A. Podoll
Sheriff of Green Lake County
