Charles A. Jones was chief of police of the Los Angeles Police Department for five months and 28 days in the early 1920s. [1] A career policeman who had worked his way through the ranks for 20 years, [2] Jones was promoted to chief from within the department. [3] Apparently pestered to distraction by public advocates, Jones announced his resignation with the statement, "No one can run the Los Angeles Police Department. There are too many meddlesome so-called reformers and others who interfere. The job isn't worth the grief that attends it." [3]
