About Jatonya:
Jatonya Clayborn is a retired Detective Sergeant with over 25 years of law enforcement experience. She was first introduced to the topic of human trafficking in 2008, while working in a specialized undercover unit. There, she worked with local, state, and federal law enforcement to investigate and prosecute human trafficking cases. After being promoted to Sergeant in 2014, Jatonya’s role as an investigator expanded to include supervising human trafficking investigations.
Realizing the lack of awareness related to the topic of human trafficking, in 2017 Jatonya successfully campaigned for and facilitated mandatory human trafficking awareness training for her organization’s commissioned personnel. She went on to extend free human trafficking awareness training opportunities to professional organizations, communities, and groups.
Today, Jatonya continues her mission to increase human trafficking awareness in her role as the Program Director for the Gateway Alliance against Human Trafficking. The Gateway Alliance against Human Trafficking is a local nonprofit organization with a vision to create a safe world for all by educating communities and inspiring positive systemic change to end human trafficking.
