The promotions take effect Tuesday, Sept. 10.
“The Police Commission noted again just this morning, and I wholeheartedly agree, that we have a stellar staff in the Darien Police Department,” Anderson continued.
“It is indeed a fine ‘problem’ to have when the promotion process is always quite difficult due in part to the high quality of our personnel competing for promotion at virtually every rank and position.”
Anderson concluded:

“I have said it many, many times and I will say it again here; I would put the fine men and women of the Darien Police Department up against any professional police department out there and be very confident in our chance of success.
“The Town of Darien continues to be well served by the police professionals promoted here today as well as all those who competed in the promotional process.”
