It is with the deepest sadness that the Palmyra Police Department shares with our residents the passing of one of our Brothers in Blue.

Retired Officer Michael Ludlow passed away on Monday 5/8/2023. This news of Ptlm. Ludlow's passing has been very devastating to the men and women of the police department, past and present, who worked with him.

Ptlm. Ludlow, who was passionately known in town as "Big Mike" was a dedicated officer to his profession. Those who were close to Mike knew him as no-nonsense when it came to anything that was close to his heart. Mike was known to be one of the tough guys but would be the first one by your side when you needed a friend and would give the shirt off his back if you were in need. Mike was one of those guys who truly had your back!

Ptlm. Ludlow's dedicated service to the Borough of Palmyra spanned over 20 years. Mike was a Field Training Officer, Emergency Medical Technician and a Firearms Instructor. Mike also served with the Palmyra/Cinnaminson/Riverton Emergency Medical Service and the Endeavor Emergency Squad out of Burlington. Mike most recently was employed with the Burlington County Bridge Police Department.

Mike leaves behind a host of many many friends and co-workers who will miss him dearly.

Mike will always be remembered for his dedication and commitment to his profession, the Borough of Palmyra and to his friends and family.

Mike's memory will live on for many things, but none more than our Borough and our Police Department.

Ptlm. Michael Ludlow, May you rest in eternal peace.
