"Bruce Wiley was the perfect fit for representing GM in the law enforcement world. He was second generation GM, following in the footsteps of his father who was a 49 year employee in our Poletown plant in Detroit, and a number of members of his family are in law enforcement, including his son Brandon who is a metro Detroit cop. He will be greatly missed in both the GM and police communities," said Brian McVeigh, Fleet & Commercial Operations, general manager.
