Need a goat? Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons will be happy to sell you one.
In March, the goat was found wandering in the area of Quail Hollow Boulevard north of Nine Mile Road. A deputy gave the goat a ride to the sheriff’s office where it was fed and given a “place to crash”, according to the EcSO. No one claimed the goat.
The goat will be sold to the highest bidder at 10 a.m. on Thursday, April 22 in a sheriff’s livestock sale. The sale will be held at Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Substation at 5844 North Highway 29 in Molino.
Enough is not being done to curb violence and protect residents of the Oakwood Terrace Apartments, Escambia County activists, church leaders and officials argue, and they are calling on the complex s owners to do their part to solve the problem.
That starts with investing some of the company s profits back into the people who live in the apartments, said Escambia County District 3 Commissioner Lumon May.
May was part of a group that also included Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons, Interim Pensacola Police Department Chief Kevin Christman, multiple pastors and a handful of local activists who met with Cecilia Cossio, president of Marquis Asset Management Inc., who traveled to Pensacola from her company s headquarters in Dallas, Texas.

It’s National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. Through April 17, telecommunications personnel in the public safety community are being honored and celebrated for their service and dedication to their community.
The week celebrates the dedication and hard work of the men and women who serve as emergency dispatchers, 911 call-takers, radio and phone technicians and other communication experts.
“Public safety telecommunicators serve their community every single day,” said interim Escambia County Public Safety Director Eric Gilmore. “These first responders who are often “unseen” but still heard are essential in emergency situations. Dispatchers have to quickly and skillfully ask the right questions and provide lifesaving information and instructions in a crisis. I’d like to thank the men and women who serve Escambia County residents in our 9-1-1 Communications Center.”
The Escambia County Sheriff s Office and the Pensacola Police Department have formed a new partnership to better fight drug trafficking and violent crimes across both jurisdictions.
The new partnership, which officials announced at a news conference Thursday at the Pensacola City Hall, will formalize an agreement that allows law enforcement officials to work across jurisdictions on certain cases. I can tell you this has been 30 years in the making, said Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons, who took the helm of the agency earlier this year and made the partnership a top priority.
In the past, investigators with both agencies worked their respective cases without much coordination across the two departments, Simmons said.
