At age 5, the family work ethic was already in Tim Jones’ hands.
He’d pitch in and mop floors, as best he could, at his dad’s barbecue restaurant, soaking up the hard work needed in a small business. Growing up, setbacks of any kind meant something to Jones.
“There were times when at night, he would get a call that his business was broken into,” Jones explained. “You see money being spent to repair the business, how it is impacted, the employees getting paid, all that kind of stuff. Seeing the different crimes occurring in the community made an impact on me wanting to become a police officer.”
Today, Jones is a newly promoted Captain at Central Patrol Division. A father of four and a man of faith, Jones is hoping his leadership helps produce the best police service possible – https://kcpolice.org/media/news-releases/faith-and-service-inspire-new-kcpd-captain/
