Tom Brown (police officer)

Thomas Archibald Brown (February 7, 1889 – January 5, 1959), also known as Big Tom, was an American law enforcement official who served as chief of the Saint Paul Police Department (SPPD) during the Great Depression and became notorious for flagrant police corruption. Brown's predecessor, John O'Connor, had developed the so-called "O'Connor system" in which fugitives from other jurisdictions were immune to arrest and extradition in Saint Paul, Minnesota, so long as they kept a low profile and committed no violent crimes within the SPPD's jurisdiction.
