Standing Ovation for Officer Jones

Officer Daniel Jones of the Rockmart Police Department was presented with a Letter of Commendation by the Polk County Board of Commissioners at the Commission Meeting held on Tuesday, May 6th, 2025. Upon receipt of this accolade, Officer Jones was greeted with a much-deserved standing ovation in response to the detailing of his heroic actions on the evening of the April 12th.

April 12th, 2025, a vehicle pursuit resulted in an accident involving Polk County Police Officers, Chandler and McDonald. In addition to selflessly springing into action to help get the injured officers out of harm's way, Jones also worked diligently to secure emergency medical services for his fellow law enforcement officers.

Officer Jones' actions can be described as nothing less than remarkable and we are honored to present him with the Letter of Commendation in recognition of his incredible efforts. Thank you, Officer Jones!
