Darien Police Department Hires a New Officer
|
Darien police welcomed Bryce Brown as a probationary police officer and the department’s newest member on Monday. The new officer is a former high school-level teacher and police officer. A former member of the Bethel Police Department, Brown graduated from the Connecticut Police Academy a year ago, in June 2018. Shortly after 3 p.m. in a small ceremony on Monday, Police Commissioner Kim Huffard and Chief Ray Osborne swore in Bryce Brown as a probationary police officer. Since Brown already had the necessary training and certification as a police officer, he will undergo a modified field training program and is expected to be ready to begin patrol on his own in a matter of weeks.
