MARSHFIELD – Members of the Marshfield Police Department took time on June 4 to meet and talk with members of the community, during a cookout and peaceful rally at Wenzel Family Plaza downtown.

Police Chief Rick Gramza said the idea behind the event came from one of his officers to bring everyone together, to start a dialogue about the recent events sparked by the death of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis last month.
