Garrett Community Center, located at 182 Industrial Drive in Jonesboro, from 5:30 – 8:30 pm on Thursday, April 9th. Bring the kids for activities, enjoy refreshments, and speak with Brent one-on-one so he can hear your ideas and concerns about what matters most to the community and parish.

“As your Sheriff, I am a part of this community, and I believe the Sheriff’s Office is strongest when it works alongside the people of this parish and all those who serve it in different ways every day. Public safety and community well-being are shared responsibilities. Citizens who stay engaged, report concerns, support one another, and work alongside law enforcement and others who serve this parish play an important role in keeping Jackson Parish safe and strong. I am committed to making sure citizens have access to clear and accurate information about how this office operates. Listening to concerns and maintaining open lines of communication strengthens both accountability and trust. I also believe in opening avenues for community involvement. Trust is built through consistent action. Fair enforcement of the law, professional conduct, reliable service, and strong community partnerships must be the standard every day. We will uphold the law with confidence and integrity, and when mistakes are made, I will take ownership and do what I can to make them right. As we move forward, my focus is on strengthening what is already in place while continuing to improve how we serve this parish. That means evaluating operations, improving communication, and building stronger connections across Jackson Parish. My goal is not only to respond when needed, but to ensure this office remains connected to the people it serves and continues to support the safety, stability, and quality of life in our parish. The people of this parish are what make Jackson Parish great, and I will never lose sight of how important that partnership is to the future of this office and this community.” – Jackson Parish Sheriff Brent Barnett
