- 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.
