A member of the Âé¶čAV RCMP has received a prestigious award.
Last Friday (Dec. 2), David Jones, a supervisor of the Âé¶čAV RCMPâs 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.
âDavid is an incredible member of our team,â said Superintendent Kara Triance. âThe 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 Âé¶čAV Regional Detachment is extremely important and Iâm very happy that he has been recognized with this national honour.â
The medal is a national recognition, and was given to Jones by Chris Mitchell, the Commissionaire B.C. CEO. Mitchell flew up to Âé¶čAV 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.
âI was immensely proud of the formal recognition David received on Friday,â said Police Services Branch Manager Torry White. âIâm glad that his CEO was on the ground to witness Davidâs 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 Âé¶čAV Detachment Team.â
Jones has been with the Âé¶čAV RCMP since 2011.
