July 2020 Honoree Officer Travis Johnson

Congratulations to West Fargo Police Officer Travis Johnson! Officer Johnson is our July 2020 Luther Family Ford Salute to Law Enforcement honoree!

Ryan Haskell, Patrol Sergeant for the West Fargo Police Department, had this to say about Officer Johnson.

"I am writing to nominate Officer Travis Johnson for the AM1100 The Flag July Salute to Law Enforcement recognition.  Officer Johnson has recently returned to patrol from the investigations division and his peers and supervisors alike have repeatedly recognized positive attitude, his excellent work ethic, and his willingness to share his 15 years of law enforcement experience with younger officers.

Officer Johnson began his law enforcement career in 2005.  He came to the West Fargo Police Department in 2007.  After approximately seven years on patrol, Officer Johnson moved to the investigations division.  Officer Johnson served in investigations from January of 2014 to March of 2020 and was the department’s first intelligence analyst.

In March of 2020, Officer Johnson returned to patrol on the evening shift.  Officer Johnson has been very active since returning to patrol and can regularly be seen assisting newer officers with their investigations.  Officer Johnson is rarely seen without a smile on his face and he maintains an infectious good mood throughout his shift.

In addition to his patrol duties, Officer Johnson is the lead advisor for the department’s Police Explorer’s Program.  Prior to becoming an officer, Johnson was involved with the Fargo Police Department’s explorer’s program.  His experience there led him to taking over the West Fargo program 11 years ago and helping to shape the future of law enforcement in the area.

Respectfully, Ryan Haskell."

Officer Johnson, we salute you!
