He is certainly an improvement over his predecessors.
I have been in Flomaton all of my life and I have seen a lot of people come and go as the Police Chief in Flomaton, but I have not seen anyone to be professional and arrest people like Chief Davis. The Town of Flomaton does not need to lose him. Outside of work he is a fine Christian man. One thing about Chief Davis, if you call the PD to complain about something, Chief Davis will check on it. I don’t’ care if it a cat in a box. Thanks to people like William at North Escambia and the Tri City Ledger cases get solved quicker.
Flomaton PD is fine as long as the government will let the Chief run his department. Well, since they have a Chief worth his check, anyway. The agencies in this area all have great officers. I know personally several of them from around the county, and I always feel good knowing they are working to keep me and my family safe.
Great Job Flomaton P.D.
You all do a great job under the administration of Chief Davis. God Bless You All.
