Better known as "Brownie" by most of the
townspeople, Sgt. Brown first joined the
police department back in 196^, as a
part-time police officer. Four years
later he became a full-time officer, and
finally was promoted to his present rank.

having 22 years in this department, we
asked Sgt. Brown to talk about some of
the changes that have taken place. "Law
enforcement itself has changed over the
years," he said, "as well as the depart-
ment. We have grown from a 2 man depart-
ment to the present, which consists of 8
full-tine officers, 11 specials and two
dispatchers."

The safety of all our citizens is a main
concern of Sgt. Brown's, especially the
children who walk to and from school each
day. It is for this reason that he would
like to see a new sidewalk installed a-
long School Street, so the kids will no
longer have to walk in the road.

Since first joining the Farmington Police Department in 1947, Chief Worster has enjoy­ed over three decades in the field of law enforcement.

Chief Worster worked under the leadership of Chief Clough until 1949, and went on to become Chief of Police in 1960.

When talking with Chief Worster, it's easy to see that he not only listens to, but also respects the people in Farmington. But even after 36 years on the Police Force, Chief Worster doesn't think of his job as a chore, but considers it a way of life.

After being asked to share his thoughts on Farmington, Chief Worster replied, "The town of Farmington is growing rapidly. We're for­tunate to have such a fine town with so many people that support this Police Department.”
