Tom Jones on cop support group board

EPHRATA - Grant County Sheriff Tom Jones was recently appointed to a board of directors' position for a statewide law enforcement support group.

Jones joined the board of the Behind the Badge Foundation, a non-for-profit organization based in Issaquah. He was approved by the board based on a recommendation by board president Brian Johnston, a sergeant with the Monroe Police Department.

The Behind the Badge Foundation provides comprehensive support to Washington State's law enforcement agencies, families and communities after an officer has died or suffered serious injury in the line of duty.

The Foundation also maintains the Washington State Law Enforcement Memorial in Olympia, commemorating the lives and dedication of officers who have died in service to our state.

"I am truly humbled to have even been considered for such an honor and even more proud to have been appointed to the board," Jones said.
