Confirming our previous reporting from sources about a week ago, MCPS today appointed outgoing Montgomery County Police Department Chief Jones (who recently retired from MCPD and was replaced by new Police Chief Marc Yamada) in a new position called the Chief of Security and Compliance (read on to see what that means).
MCPS emailed families to say that:
“The Montgomery County Board of Education today unanimously approved the appointment of Marcus G. Jones as Chief of Security and Compliance for Montgomery County Public Schools.
Jones is currently serving as Montgomery County’s Chief of Police. He joined MCPD as a police officer and held key leadership positions during his 38-year career in law enforcement. He announced his intention to retire from MCPD in January.
‘Chief Jones brings demonstrated leadership, commitment to public safety, and extensive experience to the role of MCPS Chief of Security and Compliance.’ Acting Chief of Staff Dr. Henry Johnson said, ‘His appointment is an important step towards enhancing the security of our school district.’
Chief Jones will begin his new position with MCPS in July.”
More From Previous Post and New Information Today
Appreciate The MoCo Show recognizing us as first reporting about Chief Jones working with MCPS in their coverage today.
In our other post, we talked about a position listing for MCPS Chief of Security and Compliance which ended up being right on the money. Two interesting sections of the job description (among other important roles) are “The Chief of Security and Compliance is a proven leader with a track record in safety, emergency planning management, proactive, innovative, and comprehensive approaches to systemwide safety and security efforts” and “Serves as the primary liaison to local, state, and national public safety agencies, including but not limited to, the Montgomery County Police and Fire Departments, the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services, the Maryland Department of the Environment, the Maryland Center for School Safety, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the United States Department of Homeland Security.”
