"My most memorable case was as an ICAC [Internet Crimes Against Children] Investigator. I served in that role for 2.5 years, and I believe that was the most fulfilling part of my career. When you arrest someone, who is sexually abusing a 12-13 year old, it’s a good feeling. My first case was a child pornography case that had a live victim. I’m thankful we were able to rescue her from the terrible circumstances she was living in. The guy plead to 2 life sentences for continuous sexual assault of a child, plus 10 years for child pornography. There’s no doubt we saved that girl’s life”.

These changes increased safety in our community significantly. According to the numbers, the Constable’s Office had 52 arrests in 2015, prior to Chris stepping into the Chief position. In 2018, the arrest totals grew substantially to 514 arrests. Constable Jones will continue to look for ways to make the community of Precinct 5 safer. The following are other ways Constable Jones has increased public safety.

Constable Jones believes that if people are doing what they love, they’ll take pride in their work and do their job well. This philosophy has led him to commit to fully understand the passions, and personalities, of his employees. He detailed, “personality and preferences play a lot into where officers will serve best. Understanding this, and placing people in positions that match their personality, has resulted in the amount of arrests going up substantially. This has resulted in a harmonious work environment, and better quality of work from our officers. We have a great mix of new officers and seasoned officers who work well together. There’s a lot of mutual respect for everyone’s unique qualities and roles, and a ‘let’s get this done, together’ motto".
