Officer Davina Buff Jones Memorial Award
Officer Davina Buff Jones Memorial Award
A 1981 UNCP alumnus recently established the Officer Davina
Buff Jones Memorial Awards in UNCP’s Department of Sociology and
Criminal Justice. The purpose of the award is to remember Officer Dee
Jones of the Bald Head Island (N.C.) Police Dept., who died of a gunshot
wound while on duty serving the citizens of the island on Oct. 22, 1999.
She was a spirited and dedicated police woman who had been in law enforcement
for just under a year at the time of her death at age 33. Any police officer
who gives the ultimate sacrifice should be recognized and remembered by
those he/she chose to serve. She graduated with a Basic Law Enforcement
Training degree from Cape Fear Community College in 1998.
Candidates for this award are required to submit a 250-500 word essay
to the chair of the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice as to
why Davina Buff Jones should be remembered. Two essays shall be chosen
from those submitted by the candidates to determine the recipients of
this award. The recipient with the highest QPA shall receive $600.00 and
recipient in second place shall receive $400.00.
Students interested may use the following book as a resource: Out With
Three: The Murder and Betrayal of Bald Head Island Police Officer Davina
Buff Jones. Dr. Mario Paparozzi has three copies of the book. If students
are interested in this wonderful opportunity, please stop by the department
office (SH 201) and arrange to borrow the book. Students will only be
permitted to keep the book for seven days. This will make it possible
for other students to participate.
