“When my daughter was murdered in 2022 Mr Brown was the lead detective. He sat with me in my shock in that hospital and we had a life changing conversation. If his family happens to see this post I would just like to remind you how much he loves and cherishes you all! He not only captured the murderer, he was there for me as a person when I needed someone the most! RIP sir!”

“As a retired cop who did 44 years, John was one that impressed me. He was quiet, thoughtful, and he was a great complement to the other personalities in the unit in Tulsa. I know better than most that there's a lot more going on behind the scenes than are shown on TV, but I can't help but think that John was the kind of guy who'd slow things down, or buck people up, when needed. He seemed very level, and that's something most cops struggle with... Me included!”

“Dude had me cuffed to a bench for 4hrs on the first 48 and i wasn’t involved just got caught with a gun which wasn’t stolen but i was under age and was with a homie they were looking for just so happened to catch him getting into my car then a second later we was swarmed by homicide detectives he let me go with a stern talking to and let me and my chick go i still had to pay hell of bread to get my car back because he put a homicide hold on it but he could of made my life a lot harder then he did so i appreciate him not slapping me with charges R.I.P that man.”

Detective John Brown dedicated 35 years of his life to the Tulsa Police Department. Born in Oakland, California, in 1965, John grew up in Beggs, Oklahoma, and served our community with honor, integrity, and a deep commitment to justice.
Detective Brown joined the Tulsa Police Department on September 11, 1989, and worked in various divisions, including Burglary, Robbery, Patrol, and the Special Investigations Division. In 2012, he joined the Homicide Unit, where he continued to make a significant impact on our community. His commitment to public service was recognized in 1994 when he received a Medal of Valor for his outstanding bravery while working as an undercover investigator in VICE.
A true family man, John was inspired to become a police officer by his brother, and throughout his career, he maintained a close bond with his colleagues. He often shared that the most challenging yet rewarding part of a homicide investigation was “getting inside a killer’s mind” to seek justice for victims.
John was not just a detective; he was a loving husband to his wife, a proud father to three children, and Papa to five grandchildren. He cherished his time spent with family and the adventures he shared with his wife.
