for Becoming a
Police Officer
Even as a young boy, Gary Jones wanted to be a
police officer. For over 26 years he proudly served
the citizens of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In the
mid-1970's as a member of his department's new
Tactical named Police Officers of the Year. He rose
through the ranks, eventually becoming a Captain,
and he also earned a B.A. degree in Criminal Justice.
Captain Jones retired from Fort Lauderdale P.D. in
1993. He and his wife Pat live in Tallahassee. They
have three grown and married daughters, and six
grandchildren.
The 1970's was the deadliest decade
in modern law enforcement history and
more police officers died than during
any other decade of the 20th Century.
In Fort Lauderdale, the "Venice of
America," violent crime was almost out
of control and to stem this vicious tide
the Fort Lauderdale Police Department
created the Tactical Impact Unit.
Written with all the drama and
excitement of a novel, Badge 149 -
'Shots Fired!' tells the true story of this
small group of men and of the daring
exploits that made them so well-known
and respected.
