This informal gathering is also intended as our opportunity to thank Lt. Roosevelt Johnson for the two years of great work he did here and the ways he served our community. 

We have come to know Lt. Johnson for his professionalism and his care and concern for Altadena.  As a strong presence at the station, providing leadership to the deputies and professional staff, he helped shape policies, strategies and protocols that brought strength and success in the effort to reduce crime rates, resulting in Altadena having the largest reduction in crime rates of any area serviced by the Sheriff’s Department over a period of many months. 

It was the thoughtful, persistent, creative leadership of Lt. Johnson, often working behind the scenes, that helped shape the station’s response to crime.  He also worked diligently to manage the day-to-day operations at the station freeing up Capt. McLean so the Captain could be out meeting with individuals and groups all over the community on a daily basis.

Please come thank him and find out how he’s still taking care of our community since the chief he serves, Neal Tyler, is also the Chief who’s always looking after us.
