Suwanee Police Chief Mike Jones was recently honored at the State Capitol as Georgia’s 2018-2019 Chief of the Year. Senators Renee Unterman and John Albers sponsored Senate Resolution 47, commending and congratulating Chief Jones for 45 years of outstanding service.

“I’m very honored and humbled to be here today,” said Chief Jones. “But you can’t do it by yourself. I have good people working for me, I have a wonderful wife who supports what I do, and I have a council and a mayor that supports our police department and gives us the things we need to do our jobs. We believe in community policing – building relationships with our people – and we have that in Suwanee.”
