Summary
Police Chief Bob Connell introduced and badged Lieutenant Colonel Gregory Jones as the new assistant chief; Connell recounted Jones's service in the U.S. Marine Corps, 23 years in U.S. Border Patrol including intelligence leadership, and combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Police Chief Bob Connell introduced Officer Gregory Jones and presented him for promotion: "I'm Bob Connell, police chief, city of Box Elder," Connell said before asking Jones to come forward. Connell said Jones has been with the city for about 15 months and noted prior service: 10 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and 23 years with U.S. Border Patrol, including positions as assistant chief of the intelligence division at Border Patrol headquarters in Washington, D.C., and watch commander in Deming, New Mexico.
Connell described Jones as a combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan and said the department is "extremely excited" to add him to the executive administration team. Elizabeth Brosteck performed the badging and Mayor Larson and the council recognized the promotion; the council did not take a separate public vote on the personnel appointment during the meeting.
