Autorenporträt

NAKIA JONES was born in Cleveland Ohio and is the oldest of her five siblings, in 1990 she graduated from Shaw High School (East Cleveland Ohio) and went on to attend Wilberforce University (Wilberforce Ohio) where she chose criminal justice as her major, with the hopes of becoming a Prosecutor. However, in 1996 after leaving Wilberforce University early she decided to pursue a career in Law Enforcement. On Sept 22, 1996 she took her first oath of office for the city of East Cleveland Ohio. In 1999 Nakia left East Cleveland PD and continued her Law Enforcement career for the city of Highland Hills, and finally believing she found the balance she wanted as Police Officer she left Highland Hills which was a very small suburb and on August 6, 2002 she was sworn in as the first African American female Police Officer. Nakia's passion is the elderly and the youth. Nakia has on many occasions set with juveniles and their families even off duty to help them resolve problems explaining the importance of not allowing themselves to become a part of the judicial system. If you asked Officer Jones about why she became a Police Officer she would say I believe "I am my sister and brother's keeper" believing that a little compassion, love, respect and destroying bias and prejudice beliefs will allow others to walk a mile in another's shoes, will begin a start to healing the relationships between the community and the police and will make a difference in the world. And both sides will respectfully agree ALL LIVES MATTER! African Americans and Hispanics should not be a target because of the color of their skin. Just as a Police Officer should not be a target because of their Uniform,Through the thorns I became a Rose
