Cale Howard Jones was the first Naples Police Chief. He served for 31 years until his retirement in 1958. Before being appointed Chief, he was the Town Marshall. (Tom Weeks the first Town Marshall.)
Cale and his family moved down from Jasper, Georgia in about 1922. He and his father and brothers worked on constructing the Tamiami Trail. Cale was known as a formidable "law and order" man who did what was necessary to make Naples a safe and peaceful community.
His son, Ed was on the NPD for a number of years and his nephew, Jimmy Jones, was on the Naples Fire Department and later was Chief of the North Naples Fire Department.
