Susan Jones on 9/11: Former Healdsburg Police Chief Saluted 'Women at Ground Zero'

After Sept. 11, 2001, then-Healdsburg took an active role in making sure the female first responders at Ground Zero were recognized along with their male counterparts.

A year after the terrorist attacks, Jones, the first female police chief in Sonoma County, wrote an eloquent review of the book "Women of Ground Zero" and posted it on Amazon.com.

"As a Police Chief I was very impressed with this book," Jones wrote in the review."...There were incredible accounts of the activities that took place that day and the woman telling it put the reader 'there'."

At 10 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11, CNN's Soledad O'Brien will host a special show highlighting the contributions of the women first responders 10 years ago. According to a news release, the women say they are still fighting for recognition.

Jones, who retired as police chief last summer, is now a Healdsburg City Councilwoman.
