Detective Ronald Ketchie

Retired December 31, 2003

Ron Ketchie served the citizens of Merrimack since 1979. He had served the department in many capacities, including the Accident Investigation Team. He spent the last 15 years of his career serving the citizens of Merrimack as the Merrimack Police Department D.A.R.E Officer.

Ron was a familiar sight around town, and is well known for his organization of the ongoing "Cash-O-La" night at Burger King where he and fellow classic car buffs meet each Friday and show off their wheels! His fund raising efforts for the D.A.R.E. program in Merrimack have helped keep the program running.

Another outstanding accomplishment for Ron was when he was awarded the New England D.A.R.E. Officer of the Year award by Cruisin' Magazine.

Congratulations Ron for a job well done and we wish him the best during his retirement.
