Jones has more than three decades of service with the International Paper Company. He began his law enforcement career after watching the example of family members. Concerned by rising crime rates, lack of attention directed toward young people, Jones was determined to make a difference. Jones realizes that the office of Sheriff of Chatham County is the key to turning this problem around.
