We (the Sixth District Old Timers), are honored to have worked with and beside our brother, the late Sgt. Ralph F. Brown at the MPDC - Sixth District. He was a kind,caring, and hardworking police sergeant - who was highly respected by the citizens, his co- workers, police officers and others. We will truly miss our brother but we thank God, and his family, for allowing Ralph to be a part of our 6D family.
While he has answered his Final Roll call - Ralph will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and many prayers go out to the Brown family. Please know you are not alone, as the brothers, and sisters in blue will always be here for you. May God continue to bless you and keep you always.
