Tyree D. Jones is a dedicated law enforcement professional with over twenty-five years of service to the citizens of Jackson and Hinds County, Mississippi. He began his distinguished career with the Jackson Police Department in 2000, where he served in numerous capacities and rose through the ranks to become Commander of the Violent Crimes Section. Throughout his two decades with JPD, Jones established a reputation for professionalism, integrity, and effective leadership in criminal investigations and community policing.
In 2020, Jones transitioned to the Hinds County Sheriff’s Office, where he was appointed Captain of Investigations. His proven leadership and commitment to public safety led to his election as Hinds County Sheriff in December 2021, where he has since focused on modernizing operations, strengthening community trust, and overseeing key county initiatives, including the development of a new detention facility.
In August 2025, following the retirement of Chief Joseph Wade, Mayor John Horhn appointed Sheriff Jones as Interim Chief of Police for the City of Jackson. In this dual capacity, Jones continues to emphasize professionalism, accountability, and interagency collaboration to enhance safety and stability across both the City of Jackson and Hinds County.
Recognized statewide for his leadership, Sheriff Jones was honored by the Mississippi Senate in 2025 for twenty-five years of exemplary service in law enforcement. His tenure reflects an unwavering dedication to justice, transparency, and the protection of the communities he serves.
