Overview

From the Chief

Police Chief Ernest Brown

Deputy Chief John Cooper

The Darien Police Department remains committed to continually providing Darien’s residents and visitors with the highest quality of service possible, and to take those steps necessary to keep Darien as the safest city in the United States.

Thank you for clicking on the Darien Police Department’s official web site. As the expansion of the internet has resulted in an ever shrinking world, the need for a rapid and bi-directional exchange of information has also continued to grow.

Your Police Department's web-site is here to begin to address that growing need. The web-site is intended to provide you access to your police department, issues related to law enforcement, crime conditions in Darien and adjacent communities, crime trends, safety tips and upcoming events related to community interface.

The Darien Police Department is here to serve you. That philosophy of service will begin in the office of the Chief and be interwoven into the fiber of and every facet of our service delivery model and police operations. As we move forward I will be seeking your input on ways to enhance our partnership and communication, which will thereby increase our ability to collectively keep our community safe.

I look forward to working with each of you in the future.
