Escambia County Names Terrance Davis May 2026 Employee of the Month
The Environmental Code Enforcement Division Manager was honored by county commissioners during their May 7 meeting.
Escambia County has named Terrance Davis, Manager of the Environmental Code Enforcement Division within the Natural Resources Management Department, its Employee of the Month for May 2026. Commissioners recognized Davis with a proclamation during the May 7 Board of County Commissioners meeting.
Davis has served Escambia County since 2007, bringing nearly two decades of experience to a division responsible for investigating complaints, coordinating code enforcement programs, and removing blight to prevent health hazards across the county. He supervises a team of Environmental Code Enforcement Officers while ensuring the division complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
What His Colleagues and Supervisors Are Saying
“He is a consummate professional who works hard each and every day to make our community the best it can be. He is not just an asset to our department, but to the citizens of Escambia County.”
— Chips Kirschenfeld, Director, Natural Resources Management Department
Davis has earned recognition from colleagues for his professional conduct, positive attitude, and strong work ethic. He is particularly noted for his ability to communicate calmly and patiently with county residents—a skill that matters greatly in code enforcement work, where interactions can be tense.
He has also pursued continuing education to sharpen his expertise, earning certifications from the Florida Association of Code Enforcement including:
- Fundamentals of Code Enforcement
- Officer Safety and Field Applications
Service Beyond the Job
Davis extends his commitment to public service well beyond his county duties. He serves as a facilitator at Hope Counseling Services, leading programs addressing Intimate Partner Violence and Anger Management, and assists with court-ordered evaluations and Substance Abuse and Mental Health programs.
He also remains engaged with his fellow county employees as an active member of the Escambia County Task Force and Mental Health Initiative.
In his own words: “This would not be possible had it not been for all of the people that inspired me to consider a career in public service, for the people that motivated me to persevere in my service to the citizens of Escambia County, and for the people that have supported me in my continued growth and development as a public servant. To all of them, I say thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I am forever grateful.” — Terrance Davis
