In an op-ed column published on May 3 in the Green Bay Press Gazette, Green Bay Police Chief Jim Arts supported early childhood investments, including the Governor’s Quality Rating System proposal. Arts indicated that “one of the most effective ways to reduce crime is to make sure young people get a great start.” WCCF is strongly supports development and implementation of a quality rating and improvement system for early care and education programs, and is delighted to see members of the law enforcement community on board.
