Please see Chief Coulton's words regarding the passing of Deputy Chief Ralph Johnson.

Official Statement
Bristol Township Police Department
Chief Robert A. Coulton

It is with great sadness I announce the passing of Deputy Chief Ralph Johnson, who passed away this morning surrounded by his loving family.

On June 1, 2015, I came to the Bristol Township Police Department with the task of instituting changes and professionalizing the administration and operations of the police department. Over the course of seven and a half years we have made great strides in those efforts, which would have not been possible without the dedicated assistance of Deputy Chief Johnson.

From day one, Deputy Chief Johnson embraced our plan to instill the change that was required to improve the policing services for the citizens of Bristol Township. Those who knew him know, he could accomplish any task large or small, but for me he was a trusted partner, confidant, and friend.

With Deputy Chief Johnson’s passing he will be remembered as a remarkable individual who poured everything he had into his three decades of law enforcement service to his community, and he will serve as a role model for our future generation of police officers to emulate.

We will miss him greatly.

Details of Deputy Chief Johnson funeral services are pending.

May God Bless Deputy Chief Ralph Johnson and his loving family.
