Chester "Chet" Johnson, Seattle's oldest retired officer, passed away late last month. ST has the details:

Mr. Johnson, who spent 25 years as a Seattle police officer, was 102, making him the department's oldest retired cop at the time of his death.

Mr. Johnson started out in the department's property room and later became a detective. One time a tipster helped him track down thousands of dollars' worth of jewelry stolen from the wife of a Great Northern Railway executive, his family said.

Sometimes, said his son, he'd put criminals on a train and just send them out of town.

Mr. Johnson was the city's longest-living police pensioner, collecting a police pension for almost 49 years. Every year he would chuckle when he got a letter from the Seattle pension office inquiring if he was still alive.
