Edward A. Flynn (born circa 1948), is an American law enforcement official, currently serving as Chief of the Milwaukee Police Department. [1]
Edward Flynn began his law enforcement career rising through the ranks of the Jersey City, New Jersey Police Department, serving as officer, sergeant, lieutenant, captain, and inspector. He subsequently served as police chief in the towns of Braintree, Massachusetts and Chelsea, Massachusetts. From 1998 to 2002, he served as Police Chief in Arlington County, Virginia, where he was responsible for leading the police department's response to the September 11, 2001 attack on the Pentagon, and the 2002 Beltway sniper shootings.
He returned to Massachusetts in January 2003, when then-Governor Mitt Romney appointed him as Secretary of the state Executive Office of Public Safety, the parent agency of the State Police, Department of Correction, the National Guard, the Department of Fire Services, Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Parole Board, and the Emergency Management Agency.
He resigned from Romney's Cabinet in March 2006, when he was appointed as Police Commissioner in Springfield, Massachusetts, serving in that post until his first four-year appointment as Milwaukee Police Chief in January 2008. [2] In 2009, when questioned about an alleged affair, he was quoted as saying "I have done my wife and family a great wrong, and I profoundly regret the hurt I have inflicted on them and others affected by my conduct [...]".[3][4] He was married at the time.[3][4][5] In late 2011 his contract was renewed as Police Chief for the City of Milwaukee for an additional four years.[6]
