Rosemont has reorganized its public safety department command staff after the still-mysterious departure of Superintendent Donald E. Stephens III.
William Anderson, named acting superintendent when Stephens III began a leave of absence in September, has been formally appointed to the civilian role of director of public safety by Mayor Brad Stephens.
Anderson had some three decades on the force before retiring as a deputy chief, then joining the Rosemont Convention & Tourism Bureau as general manager. He'll earn an annual salary of $135,000, an increase of $20,000 from what he was paid at the convention bureau. Stephens III had been making $217,000 a year.
