Clarendon Hills PD Has 2 New Sergeants
The promotions of Ed Leinweber and Wendy Porter were reported in a Village of Clarendon Hills release Monday.
Officers Ed Leinweber and Wendy Porter of the Clarendon Hills Police Department have been promoted to the position of sergeant, according to a release from the Village of Clarendon Hills.
“We have an excellent group of officers, but the Board of Police and Fire Commissioners through the assessment process saw that Wendy and Ed were ready to take on these additional leadership responsibilities,” Chief Ted Jenkins was quoted as saying in the release. “I believe they will serve our community well.”
The sergeant positions were vacant following the retirement of Ray Janski in 2012 and the promotion of Boyd Farmer to deputy chief earlier this year.
