July 24th: Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic the City of Greenfield has always followed Governor Holcomb’s “Back on Track” efforts. Today, Governor Holcomb signed an Executive Order mandating the wearing the masks. As the number of positive tests in our state and county continue to rise, I continue to support the Governor as he takes the necessary steps and I urge residents to comply with the Governor’s order when it is possible.

Since the mask mandate does not constitute a crime or an enforceable action, I will not be requiring the Greenfield Police Department to stop, suggest, or require residents or visitors to wear a mask. I will ask that you be respectful and/or tactful when addressing another person about mask issues. The Greenfield Police Department will however respond to disturbances that develop. Be mindful that businesses or organization may refuse service to any individual who refuses to wear a mask. If you are asked to leave an establishment, please do so in a courteous manner. Refusal to leave when asked could be treated as Criminal Trespass, with legal ramifications.

Any calls or complaints about individuals not wearing a mask or businesses not requiring patrons to wear a mask should be directed to State or County Health Departments.
