Donte Jones Public Affairs Deputy Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office

Public Affairs Deputy – Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office
My name is Donte Jones, and I serve as the Public Affairs Deputy for the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office. In my role, I focus on storytelling, digital communication, and community engagement, using media to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the people we serve. I highlight the work of deputies, spotlight community partnerships, and help create content that strengthens trust throughout Pulaski County. Outside of PCSO, I’m a creator who enjoys producing social-media content, podcasts, and projects that spark real conversations. Whether I’m behind the camera at local events or speaking on a stage or a mic, I aim to bring clarity, honesty, and connection to every space I step into. I’m also a proud girl dad, a dedicated runner, and someone who believes deeply in public service. My goal is simple: use my voice and my creativity to uplift my community and leave audiences with something meaningful to walk away with.

From Likes To Law Enforcement: The Power Of Digital Engagement

In this presentation, I’ll be sharing my personal story of how building a strong social media following not only shaped my voice online but also paved an unexpected path into law enforcement. We’ll dive into how a background in digital engagement and community building on social platforms can become a unique asset in the realm of public safety. By blending the worlds of online influence and law enforcement, I’ll highlight how the skills of connecting with an audience, fostering trust, and communicating effectively can translate into serving the community in a very tangible way. Whether you’re a content creator curious about public service or someone in law enforcement looking to leverage social media, this talk is about bridging those two worlds.
