Throughout the years, I have never known a police officer who was more capable and dedicated than Johnny Godwin. Rt. 13 North, Delmar, DE Johnny was unsurpassed at solving crimes. His assigned area was At- lantic District, where he lived. During that era, we did not have all the scientific and forensic CSI-like techniques that are now so prevalent. Johnny accomplished it through his “street smarts,” gritty determination, DRASTICALLY GOVERNMENT good old-fashioned “shoe leather,” and the fact that he knew people in his district and those people would talk to him.

He often cautioned young people against leaving school early. Deputy sheriffs filed written reports and we used to “rag” on Johnny because of some of his spellings. He always said in response that there were two ways of spelling a word: the “Webster way” and the “Godwin way,” and who was to say which was more accurate.
