Club members said their selection team chose the two -year veteran based on his courtesy, professionalism and for the respect he shows to the citizens he serves. “It makes me feel good. It is overwhelming. I wasn’t expecting it, but i like it,” said Patrolman Lee Jones of the Jackson Police Department. There are three Optimist Clubs in the Hub City. The Jackson, Midtown and South Side Clubs. Together they have honored an officer every year since 1965.
