Verified

  • A 28-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department has been tapped to lead the Darien Police Department, officials announced.

    Deputy Superintendent Ernest Brown is currently in charge of the 8,000 officers in the Chicago Police Department’s Bureau of Patrol, which includes its SWAT teams. He also served as the chief of the organized crime division in Chicago.

    Darien Mayor Kathleen Weaver said in a written statement that Brown was her top choice for the job, calling his career “extremely honorable” and praising his experience and leadership ability.
Wow. It completely glosses over the seedier aspects of Ernie's disastrous tenure here. And his off-duty exploits. And his applying to that Arizona job and the subsequent withdrawal of an employment offer following their discovery that the resume had more holes in it than a south side homicide victim.

Maybe Darien could put Ernie's resume out there for everyone to peruse. And then Buckeye, Arizona could put out the application they got and we could do a side-by-side comparison.

Good luck, fare-thee-well.

I can give him a list of people I'd like him to take with him that would be more that the whole Darien Police Department.

Is McGeneralissimo making calls to NYC to find a replacement or will Rahm say we don't need to fill that position.

All these connected bosses are taken care of as long as they keep their mouths shut once they are gone. I can only guess Brown was a loyal servant to the powers that be and he will be rewarded for his servitude. Bye.

Nothing in the files of IAD/OPS will be made available to any possible employers. So, the bottom line, there is no proof of any misconduct while on CPD. If Brown retires for pension not under investigation, nothing will be available to any outside agency. All employers are doing this to avoid litigation. Many employers will only state the name, title and dates of service for a former employee, but will not say anything else, to include salary.

How are the lowest ranks and the highest working people in the dept. can be motivated if only heavy clout people nominate each other and individuals who deserve to be recognized ONLY get recognized by OUTSIDE agencies?

Dear DTEB

Congratulations you were and are an inspiration to us hard working still producing police officers. Thank you for the encouragement as I wrote parkers along the lake front.

This Friday my doctor gave me good news. I will be able to come off the medical next week after being off all summer. I missed the department.

My uncle had my day off group changed so that I will not have to work the holidays and my uncle Tom promised he is going to have me working school patrol relief.

If I can ever help you with roll call training, (writing parkers and jay walkers my specialty) I would love to make a presentation to your naive police officers in Darien, IL.(for my merit resume)

Again all the best, fraternally

The Darien City Council voted 4-3 to install Ernest Brown, deputy superintendent of the Chicago Police Department’s patrol division, as Darien’s new police chief.

Before the vote, Brown addressed questions about his police record by explaining issues residents have raised over the past few days.

Aldermen Sylvia McIvor, Joe Marchese and Joerg Seifert voted against Brown’s appointment. Each voiced concerns over the process the city used to select Brown as the top candidate.

Dom Rizzi(who works in DTEBS office) took his own time to ride out to Darien and come to his rescue! Im guessing look for Capt or Commander Rizzi in the near future! oohhhh but Im sure if DTEB trys to promote or take care of Rizzi as he goes out the door, Rizzi being the stand-up guy will turn it down. He was only in Darien to do the right thing. I almost threw up listening to his speech!
