Harold Brown

My sincere condolences to all those who knew and loved Harold.

I had the privilege to know the Captain while in the Academy on O'Brien St., later working with him at the present Academy and through Jackie. Through all I found that on the surface he could be tough as nails but underneath beat the heart of a true gentleman and one interested in helping you.

Prayers for the Captain and family from us.

Capt. Brown was stationed at the Police Academy when I went for my physical and was summarily dismissed for supposed poor eye sight.

When I went before him and pleaded my case that my eye sight wasn't bad, and my eyes had just been checked a couple of weeks before when I had gotten out of the Marine Corps, he immediately scheduled another test for me, and of course I passed that one.

If it hadn't been for him I never would have gotten on the job, and retired after 31 years...

My condolences to the Harold Brown Family.He was my supervisor and we touched bases at different assignments,from the Training division,where I was a recruit,and latter on in District assinments.He had a very rough exterior,but I latter found out the man was for the men and he had a heart of gold,it was my pleasure to know him and I can say with pride I worked for him.
