A great friend and protector of the residents of Church Hill. He deserves any recognition we can give him. Our city needs more police officers like John Henry Taylor.

Church Hill honors policeman who helped keep neighborhood safe (RTD 5/9/09)

Taylor retired in February 2006, ending a 28-year career in which he received more than 200 commendations and medals of excellence from his superiors and the communities he policed. Those awards included a 1986 letter in which 70 Church Hill residents cited him as “an officer and a gentleman” and “the best damn cop we know.”
