Download PDF

Darien police announced Wednesday that its website now has a “Resources Toolbox” for families, friends and caregivers of people with various destructive behaviors, like drug-taking, bullying, suicide or dating violence. Here’s the announcement:
Too often, parents, spouses, friends, and caregivers find themselves confronted with issues they may be ill-equipped to deal with. While the opioid crisis is certainly among the most frightening – and certainly among the most dangerous – other issues, such as bullying, suicide, and dating violence, can leave persons looking for resources. We understand that persons may be hesitant to publicly reach out for assistance.  To that end, the Darien Police Department has attached a ‘Resources Toolbox’ to our website. The Toolbox can be accessed by simply clicking on the ‘Services’ tab at the upper right of the homepage and selecting the ‘Resources Toolbox’ tab.  Here you will find links to a host of resources that we hope can assist in navigating what can be treacherous terrain.

Where's Waldo?

Darien Police Department just launched its new website with new features giving the public more information about police activities in town. The new version of the website also has more links from the home page to information provided on the previous version of the website, making it easier to get to. Crime Reports

One new feature, “Crime Reports,” initially shows a map of recent incidents involving police, including traffic stops and motor vehicle accidents. If you click on a small icon at a particular location, you can get very brief information on the incident. The nature of an incident can be shown by the icon itself — sometimes an image of a car (for motor vehicle accidents), or letters (“PP” for police stops of motor vehicles; “Q” for some other incidents).
