What’s Your Story?

Emmett Wheeler interviews Retired Chief Deputy Gil Jones, who began his career in civilian law enforcement in 1965, after serving in a law enforcement capacity in the United States Air Force. At the Ohio State Highway Patrol, he rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel, having served in a variety of assignments, including Commandant of the Training Academy. As the third African-American Trooper in the state of Ohio, following Sanford Roan and Louis Sharp, Jones was the first to complete the Academy, remain with the Highway Patrol and ultimately retire from the Patrol in 1997. In 1998, he was asked by Sheriff Jim Karnes to serve at the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office as Chief Deputy of Patrol, an assignment he accepted and served in until 2014. His achievements are not only honored and recognized by two premiere law enforcement agencies, his remarkable career earned him an induction into the Ohio Civil Rights Hall of Fame in 2017.
