Mr. Mark Brown

I am Mark Brown, the Director of Security for St. Rita Catholic Community. I am excited to accept this newly created position for the school and parish community following my retirement from the Dallas Police Department, after serving over 20 years in positions ranging from patrolling Oak Cliff to being a detective assigned to the Auto Theft Unit. I also served 5 years in a contract position with Children’s Medical Center of Dallas reporting all offenses involving children that were discovered by the medical staff or reported by the parents of the children being treated. My wife, Laura, and I have a daughter and a son. Madeleine is in 2nd grade and Tristan is in kindergarten at St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Arlington. Our friendship with Father Joshua Whitfield and his wife, Allison, precedes his ordination as a Catholic priest and either of our families having children. This led to the honor of being the godparents to their children and they for ours. I look forward to utilizing the skills and experience I developed as a police officer in serving the St. Rita Catholic Community in my new role and being a part of the St. Rita family.
