I am proud of the more than 1100 dedicated employees in whom I trust each day to make our community a safer place to live. I regard them as my single most greatest resource. We are a state accredited agency who, through teamwork, are constantly striving for excellence both in our relationships with each other and with the community which we serve. Having been a member of the Escambia Sheriff’s Office since the age of 15, I hold a deep rooted loyalty for the ESO. I am steadfastly committed to guiding our employees toward fulfilling our mission of providing responsible, effective and efficient law enforcement services to our community, and doing so with integrity and fairness. I invite you to become a member of our team to help us to grow with the community that we serve and protect. You too can experience the atmosphere of cohesiveness by which we achieve our personal and professional goals.

Escambia County, A Great Place to Live and Work

The Escambia Sheriff’s Office and its team of uniformed patrol and detention deputies provide law enforcement services to more than 300,000 Escambia County residents.

Situated in Northwest Florida on the tip of the Florida Panhandle, Escambia County offers an enviable lifestyle. The beautiful Gulf of Mexico and its local bays with blue-green waters bordered by sugar-white beaches offer many recreational opportunities. Freshwater is also abundant with creeks and rivers winding through the area. Our mild climate makes it easy to enjoy the outdoors with an annual average temperature of 72 degrees and sunshine on an average of 344 days per year.

Residents also enjoy many other benefits. The county has an excellent public school system, a vocational school, community college, and a four-year state university. Three major hospitals, with physicians representing every major specialty, provide quality healthcare services. Affordable housing is widely available and the low cost of living enables residents to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. Thanks to Florida’s broad tourism base, there is no state income tax.

Escambia County is the western-most county of Florida, bordered by Alabama to the north, the Gulf of Mexico to the south, Perdido River to the west and Escambia River to the east. The county encompasses 662 square miles which includes two barrier islands. The county seat is the City of Pensacola.
