The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) is proud to announce that Flagler County Dispatcher

McKenzie Davis has been selected as the 2020 Florida State Elks Associations Law Enforcement Support Employee of the Year!

Davis began her career at the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office in 2018 at only 19 years old. She was nominated for the award by her supervisor and Sheriff Staly for the incredible work she did as a dispatcher in 2020, including saving the lives of four Flagler County residents, two in the same day.

“In Mackenzie’s short time in the communication center, she has made an incredible impact on the community and within our agency,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “She excels at being able to take control while remaining calm during high stress situations. She consistently performs to exemplary standards and is a great example of the dedicated team and training it requires to work as a Telecommunicator. Congratulations McKenzie and keep up the great work!”

McKenzie will be recognized during the Florida State Elks Association annual conference in Orlando on May 29th.  She previously received the Florida Sheriff’s Association’s 9-1-1 Communications Operator of the Year award.

Since 2014, the Florida State Elks Association have recognized and honored first responders. The Florida State Elks Association First Responder of the Year award began with just one category, law enforcement officer. Today, four categories are considered for nomination — law enforcement officer, firefighter, EMT and support services (such as dispatchers and corrections officers).
