In the wake of national protests against the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and other deaths of black men in the hands of police, and a peaceful march through downtown Darien Police Chief Donald Anderson issued a written statement about his department’s attitude and intentions regarding professional policing. “We stand for protecting the rights of all residents and guests of the town of Darien that are guaranteed by both the state of Connecticut and United States Constitutions,” Anderson said in the statement. “Anything less is not acceptable to the administration of this department, nor should it be acceptable to you. ”
He said the department always tries to be professional, even though it sometimes makes mistakes. “I am proud that the Darien Police Department, your Darien Police Department, is made up of highly trained, well-educated and fully engaged professional public safety officers and staff.”
