Prior to that, he served with the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Police Department for 20 years, including assignments as a sergeant in the Traffic Safety Division from 2008-10 and in the Neighborhood Engagement Unit from 2010-13.
A trained instructor in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention for Schools, Davis has trained and has experience in a number of other relevant areas, including Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Guidelines, School and Police Partnerships, Active Shooter Response and the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú County Threat Assessment Coordination Team.
He holds a bachelor’s degree in English literature from the University at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú.
He replaces Vince Thompson as the district’s director of safe schools and violence prevention and will begin in the new role Friday. The district will begin a search for a new assistant director immediately to join Davis and Assistant Director Joe McDade in leading the district’s safety and security team.
