Council committee moves Daniel Armando Jones favorably for reappointment to Police Accountability Board

The Committee of the Whole moved favorably on the county executive's reappointment of Daniel Armando Jones to the Prince George's County Police Accountability Board on Sept. 10, 2024.

Marion Brewer, the appointment liaison, introduced Jones and summarized his background, including his work in federal legislative affairs and leadership in Latino civic organizations. Brewer told the committee that Jones is a Hyattsville resident, that his resume is in the committee virtual binder and that his financial disclosure is on file; she noted his term is due to expire on June 30, 2027 and that a public hearing is scheduled for Sept. 17, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. "I present to you the county executive's nominee for reappointment to the Police Accountability Board," Brewer said.

Jones addressed the committee and framed his service as both personal and professional. "My name is Daniel Armando Jones... I am now standing before you reaching for my dream of public service and asking for your confirmation of my reappointment to the Prince George's County Police Accountability Board," he said, outlining his undergraduate degrees, Capitol Hill experience advising members of the U.S. House of Representatives and his current role managing federal affairs for a national hospital association. He described his goals as strengthening board compliance with statutory objectives while increasing community engagement.

Council Member Burrows moved to "move favorable" and Council Member Watson seconded. The clerk called the roll and members voted in favor; the committee initially recorded the motion as carrying 7-0 and then corrected the tally to 8-0 after a returning member was included. The Committee of the Whole recommendation will be followed by the council's final vote at the appropriate stage.
