A member of the 91大黄鸭 RCMP has received a prestigious award.
Last Friday (Dec. 2), David Jones, a supervisor of the 91大黄鸭 RCMP鈥檚 Detachment Cellblock, was awarded with the Commissionaires Distinguished Service Medal for his dedicated service.
Despite the medal being around since 1989, less than 30 people have been given the award.
鈥淒avid is an incredible member of our team,鈥� said Superintendent Kara Triance. 鈥淭he medal is more than deserving as each and every day David goes above and beyond. The work that David and his team do within the 91大黄鸭 Regional Detachment is extremely important and I鈥檓 very happy that he has been recognized with this national honour.鈥�
The medal is a national recognition, and was given to Jones by Chris Mitchell, the Commissionaire B.C. CEO. Mitchell flew up to 91大黄鸭 for the day to give Jones the award in-person. He was also the one to nominate Jones based on his service and a recommendation by the Commissionaires B.C. honours committee.
鈥淚 was immensely proud of the formal recognition David received on Friday,鈥� said Police Services Branch Manager Torry White. 鈥淚鈥檓 glad that his CEO was on the ground to witness David鈥檚 hard work, professionalism and expertise. His noted work, and the work of all Commissionaires, is vital to ensuring our police services objectives can be accomplished as part of a collective Regional 91大黄鸭 Detachment Team.鈥�
Jones has been with the 91大黄鸭 RCMP since 2011.
