MEET 'EM MONDAY : Sgt. Jones! 👮‍♂️🎣🪵🚴‍♂️

Kicking off the week by introducing Sgt. Jones.

Sgt. Jones began his law enforcement career back in 2013 as a game warden in Mississippi before bringing his experience to Florida, where he joined the team at UWF in 2018.

When he’s not on duty, Sgt. Jones loves spending quality time with his wife and daughter, and you can often find him out on the water fishing or working on his latest woodwork project.

You can also sometimes find him patrolling around on the bike!

Thank you to Sgt. Jones for his continued service to our community. 👋
