John was born June 29, 1928, in Detroit, MI to the late William and Barbara (MacBeth) MacIvor. He was a veteran who served honorably for 10 years in the United States Navy just prior to beginning his career in law enforcement as a Deputy Sheriff of San Bernardino County, CA. Quickly rising through the ranks, John attained the position of Chief of Police for Littleton, CO, and through his dedication and loyalty he received Littleton’s “Public Servant of the Year” award for 1969. Moving forward in his career John was appointed as Director of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI). John continued to hold numerous high-ranking positions which led him to Dallas in 1976 when he proudly accepted the position as Special Agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). John then moved on to be the Regional Inspector General for the Department of Education, overseeing a five-state region. John served his country and the law enforcement community with integrity and honor, which were his trademarks his entire life.
