DNR Law Enforcement Announces New Region Captains

DNR Law Enforcement announced the promotion of Casey Jones to Captain to oversee Region 1 in northwest Georgia.

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division announced the promotion of Sergeant Casey Jones to the rank of Captain, and he will be the new supervisor of Region I, which covers 28 counties in northwest Georgia and includes the City of Atlanta. Captain Jones steps into the vacancy created when Captain Al Greer laterally transferred to Region 5 in southwest Georgia. Both moves are the result of the retirement of Captain Rick Sellars from Region 5.

“Captain Jones has a reputation of dedication and hard work, and I am confident in his ability to be an outstanding leader for our northwest Georgia region,” said DNR Law Enforcement Director Colonel Mike England.

Captain Jones is a 25-year veteran of DNR. He began his career as a WRD Game Management Section Wildlife Tech in 2000 and transferred to Law Enforcement in 2006. He promoted to Corporal in 2007 and to Sergeant in 2021, where he was assigned to Fannin County. 

After leading the northwest Georgia Region, Captain Greer returns as the Region Supervisor of Region 5 in southwest Georgia, where he served the vast majority of his 25-year career.

Both captains assumed their new responsibilities on April 1.
