On several occasions over the last two years my business has required me to travel to the City of DeFuniak Springs. During this time, I have had the opportunity to meet with City and County officials. One of the City officials I have been in contact with is City Marshal Michael Adkinson Jr. On ever occasion Marshal Adkinson has been very professional and represented the City of DeFuniak Springs in a positive way. When in conversation with Marshal Adkinson one gets a true feeling of his concern for the well being of DeFunaik Springs citizens and visitors.
Marshal Adkinson has held town hall meeting such as "Dinner with the Chief" to keep citizens and employees informed on programs/improvements scheduled for the Marshal's Office. I am only aware of a few improvements Marshal Adkinson has made while serving the citizens of DeFuniak Springs, FL. I wanted to take the time and point a few of them out.
1. When Marshal Adkinson began service officers wore three (3) different
styles of badges. To date that has been corrected.
2. Marshal Adkinson implemented a physacal fitness program.
3. Marshal Adkinson implemented a policy and procedures for day to day
operation of the agency.
4. Marshal Adkinson set organization goals and objectives, professional
growth of employees to meet requirements established by State law and
administrative rules.
5. Marshal Adkinson initiated the Accreditation process from the
Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation, Inc.
This list covers only a few topics I became aware of by attending meeting attended by Marshal Adkinson. This short, but powerful list proves Marshal Adkinson is committed to a high standard of professional law enforcement services to the DeFuniak Springs residents and visitors.
I know if elected Sheriff of Walton County Michael Adkinson will continue on this path providing professional law enforcement services to all residents and visitors of Walton County by demanding professionalism, excellence, and competence from all Walton County Sheriff's Office employees.
