Knight promoted to JCSD sergeant

  • May 21, 2021 Updated May 21, 2021 - Laurel Leader-Call
 

Derick Knight has been promoted from corporal to sergeant on A Squad, the Jones County Sheriff's Department announced.

"We held a competitive promotion selection, with a test and interview board evaluating six JCSD candidates," Sheriff Joe Berlin said. "The stringent process led to Cpl. Knight being selected after achieving the highest scores on the letter of interest, written exam and panel interview. We are blessed to have a strong group of deputies who are dedicated to serving the residents of Jones County."

Sgt. Knight will go into service leading A Squad on Monday. He is also a K9 handler with K9 Oblix.

Knight replaces Sgt. Brennon Chancellor, who was hired to serve as director of the Covington County Emergency Management Agency.
