On July 14, 2009, Jones completed his Municipal Police Officers Certification, and was promoted to recruit shortly thereafter, Bendig said. 

"Since that time," Bendig said, "Officer Jones has received above above average performance evaluations from his patrol sergeant. He is a very proactive officer. His duties are an asset not only to the department, but the squad which he is assigned to at this time."
