Athens to name Ted Jones police chief after residency rule dropped

Athens Civil Service Commission revoked its seven month old residency requirement clearing Ted Jones of Albany to become permanent chief. Chairman DeVeau said the move aims to attract top personnel and will guide a new rule limiting incoming officers to live within the Athens local range while current staff may stay. Jones has served as acting chief since April and will be certified for the post pending mayoral appointment.
