Jon Pease

Retired Officer Jon Pease

16 Feb 2021  - Retired Police Officer Jon Pease passed away after working in his yard at his house at the age of 67. Many of us had the pleasure of working with Jon at the Central, and Southern districts. Others may have known him from his service with Springfield State Hospital, and Maryland transportation Authority. He was a giant that calmed a room just by entering, and what we in Baltimore call "Good Police" if you needed back-up and heard Jon was on the way, you knew you had genuine help on the way. There were times when I told the person I was dealing with, it might be best if he was in cuffs before my back-up arrived, because they don't like resisting an officers commands. If they knew it was Jon, they quickly complied. I was lucky, when I was 23 I joined the Baltimore Police department, I was formerly a welder, so it was a total fish out of water, but with guys like Kenny Byers, Mike Cichowicz and Jon Pease taking me under their wing to show me how to police, they were calling me a 6 month veteran very quickly and I was comfortable on the job and went on to have an excellent career, that was only possible because of the guys in that first squad. Guys Like Mike, Kenny and Jon that cared enough to help a rookie become a veteran We hope when you think of Jon you will think of old school Baltimore Police that believed in his oath to protect the public, always putting his partners, and the public's safety before his own he was one of the 99.9% or the good police everyone wanted to arrive when they were calling for help.. May he rest in peace
