Nyssa Police Chief

I do not have the words to describe a loss of this magnitude; the loss of one of Nyssa’s finest, dedicated and most humble servants, Reserve Corporal Joseph Johnson. His mission was his creed: Honor, Integrity and Service. His murder has sent a shockwave through our loving community as we all feel the gravity of his loss. However, even with his loss, his true character has brought us all together in support of one another and that is the true Reserve Cpl. Johnson and what he did for his family, our community and us.

We are deeply humbled by the tremendous outpouring of support from our wonderful and caring community and we cannot thank you all enough. Your support brings promise and hope to your officers who have been towing the line tirelessly for the past few months. Thank you and we love you all.

Reserve Corporal Joe Johnson, you will be forever missed brother, but you will not be forgotten. We have it from here.
