Kenneth Thuleen

It’s never easy to loose a loved one, I pray you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. My heart hurts for you and your family, but know that you will see each other again in our beautiful heavenly home.

Kenneth Thuleen was a man among men and helped me set goals to be a good police officer early in my careen. He was a much respected by friends and crooks alike. He was a stern but fair man and very effective at solving robberies. Together with his partner Charlie M., they were the power team on the eastside. Somewhere he acquired the nickname "Capt Bodeen", I suspect from a street person who could not pronounce his name correctly. His interview techniques were legendary and usually resulted in a confession. He was my hero. Rest in Peace my friend.

Ken had my total respect. He was a kind genial gentle giant with a calm but firm voice. I never heard a derogatory word said about Ken. He had a way with people; even suspects had the utmost respect for him. He treated everyone fairly with decency And respect. Ken set a good example for the younger officers and Detectives. He was a good example for me to follow. I strived to follow his advice and his example when I worked the 4:00 pm to 12:00 am Robbery detail. May God bless my friend, and give him everlasting peace. My condolences to Kens Family.

Ken was quiet ,patient man who was one of the Departments better investigators. He will be missed and like ALL good Cops, the Lord provided a long life and a loving partner.RIP Ken.

Ken was a good man and a great " mentor " to me. I worked in the robbery Unit from 76 to 78, along with Detective Gaston. He, and Charlie, took us under their wings and showed us how it was done. R.I.P. " Twolane "...
