Jaco the Galalctic Patrolman was an 11-chapter manga, written/illustrated by Akira Toriyama, serialized in 2013 in Weekly Shonen Jump both in Japan and America/internationally (in English by Viz). It received a collected release in Japan in 2014, and earlier this year in America from Viz (print/digital).
Shueisha hyped it ahead of time, somewhat spoiling things, as the "shocking revival of Dragon Ball".
Without ACTUALLY spoiling things for you: it's a wonderful comedy series that works beautifully on its own and provides a rather perfect lead-in to Dragon Ball.
Then it got a bonus chapter in its collected release, "Dragon Ball Minus," which may be one of the most derided pieces of Dragon Ball content in decades.
Funny how that works.
You can purchase the print edition from a variety of places (like Amazon), or the digital edition also from a variety of places (like Amazon or directly from Viz themselves).
He is the main character of Akira Toriyama's recent short comedy manga: "Jaco the Galactic Patrolman." It's a funny story that takes place in the DB universe.
The manga he starts in takes place before Dragonball begins. And it appears that he returns to earth to star in this movie.
I recently just bought it off amazon. It's a fun read.
You know that Jaco first appeared in his own Jaco the Galactic Patrolman manga before he showed up in Resurrection F and Super, right? I strongly suggest reading it sometime. You can get the entire one-volume story for well under $10 on Amazon.

So according to mangaupdates it's not completely translated.
Most likely because VIZ Media licensed it.
You can get the whole thing really cheap online (~$10):
Amazon
BookDepository
RightStuf Currently they have at least 33% off all Viz titles so now's a great time.
IMO you might as well pick it up if you like Dragon Ball. It's really not that expensive and probably no one will pick it back up to translate it. Maybe after the group translating Dr. Slump is done with it, they might do it, but it's not very likely.
You haven't read the manga?!
Go go go, buy buy buy!
>Since it is not avaiable for purchase anymore
The release date is January 2015.
