The longtime Dallas police officer’s biography goes on sale nationally and internationally the day before his Dallas appearance. Chief Brown’s co-author is Michelle Burford, a founding editor of Oprah Winfrey’s O Magazine.

Chief Brown, a native of Dallas’ South Oak Cliff neighborhood, joined the Dallas Police Department in 1983, working his way through patrol and SWAT duty, internal affairs assignments and the assistant police chief rank before being appointed chief in April 2010.

He retired in the fall of 2016 after seeing the city through one of its most difficult challenges of the 21st century, the July 7, 2016, ambush of a protest march in downtown Dallas. Four Dallas officers and a DART officer were killed. In a nationwide first, Chief Brown used an armed robot to end a standoff with the attacker. His cool, calm demeanor in ending the attack drew praise from across the nation.

The Dallas Morning News is media sponsor for Chief Brown’s appearance.
