Jaeson Jones

Drawing on his real-life firsthand accounts from over 25 years battling cartels, Jaeson Jones inspires audiences to view problems as “fixable” - regardless of size or scope. He is a licensed Master Peace Officer and a retired Captain from the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Intelligence and Counterterrorism Division. His extensive experience includes managing the daily operations for the Texas Rangers and Border Security Operations Center.

Jones motivates leaders to build teams through communication, collaboration, trust, and empowerment. He frequently speaks to executives within all disciplines of homeland security throughout the nation on best practices for combating transnational threats. His expertise in spotting signs of kidnapping, human smuggling, and sex trafficking adds depth to his discussions, making his presentations highly valuable for professionals in these critical areas.

As a front-line expert on leading through conflict and chaos, Jones teaches leaders to collaborate and communicate effectively despite borders, barriers, high stakes, and constant change. He led investigations targeting Mexican cartel leadership and built programs that collaborated closely with the U.S. intelligence community, which significantly adds to his credibility. His mission is fueled by the core leadership belief that “if you can’t get the little things right, you’ll never get the big things right.” Additionally, he is the Director/CEO of Omni Intelligence, focusing on public and government awareness of threats from unsecured borders and transnational crime.

Jones has unparalleled experience building effective teams at the border and he captivates audiences with real-time frontline accounts of security issues. He exudes the optimism of a ‘man on a mission’ to “Servare Vitas” (to save lives) by fixing the growing cartel problem - arguably the biggest threat to homeland and global security. He is a nationally recognized authority on the Mexican Cartels and has been recognized for his articulate lectures on law enforcement and border security.
