Sheriff Chip Simmons Receives God In Government Award
January 29, 2023
Leaders from across the area gathered Saturday morning at Olive Baptist Church in Pensacola for the 46th Annual Governmental Prayer Breakfast.
Sheriff Chip Simmons was named the 2023 recipient of the God in Government Award.
The purpose of prayer breakfast, which transcends denominational and political affiliation, is to encourage moral and spiritual values in government. The breakfast was started by a group of ministers from the Greater Cantonment-Ensley Ministerial Alliance and is today led by a diverse committee that believes in preserving the original mission of encouraging moral and spiritual values in government.

Great to see that Chip Simmons includes God into his everyday life. May the Lord bless you and watch over you and all of your deputies each day.
Congratulations
I have worked for Sheriff Offices in admin both in Illinois and Virginia. I have seen first hand the difference between really good leadership and really bad leadership. What comes down from the Sheriff sets the tone for the whole agency.
Recently I attended a neighborhood watch program at which Sheriff Simmons spoke. My first impression of him and his team was that they are a cohesive and exemplary force.
“When the righteous rule, the people rejoice” . And the bad guys aren’t too happy.
Congratulations sir
I’m not a resident of Escambia Florida but I live across the line in Alabama. I do appreciate the people that are elected to positions in government that are Christians. Thank you Sheriff Simmons for the job you do. Be safe and continue on doing a great job. You are much appreciated!
Amen! We are truly blessed to have Chip “The Elevator Kicking” Simmons as sheriff! Everyday my family thanks the Lord Jesus Christ for how he had elevated our police force! It brings tears to my eyes to see the church and the state so close. Keep on going brother. Keep kicking higher!
