Sheriff Austin Garrett is proud to announce the commission of Tim Davis as the new Deputy Chief of Corrections for the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. A seasoned law enforcement professional with over 25 years of experience, Chief Davis will oversee all Corrections Services operations.
Chief Davis brings a distinguished career in corrections and law enforcement leadership, having served in a variety of command roles at the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office in California, where he retired as Assistant Sheriff. In his prior role, Chief Davis was in command of the 5th largest jail system in California where he was responsible for managing multiple facilities with more than double the total daily inmate population currently housed in the Hamilton County Jail and Detention Center. His extensive background includes training and certifications in jail operations, security, emergency response, and inmate classification.
Over the course of his career, Chief Davis has served as a Jail Training Officer (JTO), Security Enhancement Training Team (SETT) Officer, Less-Lethal Munitions Instructor, Emergency Response Team (ERT) Leader, and Classification Deputy. His leadership roles have included Sergeant of Jail Administration and Training, Sergeant of the Internal Affairs Unit, and Lieutenant and Assistant Division Commander at both male and female detention facilities. He was later assigned to oversee Support Services, which included the Jail Programs Unit, Re-Entry Services, Classification and Gang Intelligence, and the Custody Adult Supervision Unit.
“Throughout his law enforcement career, Chief Davis has demonstrated exceptional leadership, particularly in corrections services,” said Sheriff Garrett. He was a valuable asset to his previous agency, and I am confident he will bring the same level of professionalism, innovation, and accountability to the Hamilton County Jail and Detention Center. As Deputy Chief of Corrections, he will play a critical role in implementing my vision and continued goals for Corrections Services and the Hamilton County Jail and Detention Center.”
Chief Davis earned his Associate of Arts degree from Ohlone College in 1991. He and his wife Michelle have dedicated a combined 50 years to public service in law enforcement. They are proud parents of five children, two of whom are currently following in their footsteps—serving as a Custody Deputy and a Police Officer.
