3 Receive Promotions In Darien Police Department

Darien PD: On behalf of the Darien Police Commission, I am very pleased to announce the following Darien Police Department staff promotions which will be effective Tuesday, September 10th, 2019.

· Youth Detective James Palmieri to the rank of Sergeant

· Field Services Sergeant Alison Hudyma to the rank of Lieutenant

· Training Lieutenant Robert Shreders to rank of Captain.

Please join me in congratulating our officers who are receiving these well-deserved promotions. History has shown, time and time again, that achieving promotion in our agency is always the result of a highly competitive process among many quality candidates. The Police Commission noted again just this morning, and I wholeheartedly agree, that we have a stellar staff in the Darien Police Department. 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. 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.
