\"MayorOrange County, Fla. (Dec. 13, 2018)<\/strong> \u2013 Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings<\/a> today announced the appointment of Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Special Agent in Charge Danny Banks as the Deputy County Administrator of Public Safety at Orange County Government.<\/p>\n

The Orlando native and longtime public safety expert has been employed at FDLE since 2000 and has 25 years of public safety experience. Since 2012, he has served as the Special Agent in Charge at the Orlando Regional Operations Center, where he supervises nine counties in the region and oversees all FDLE\u2019s criminal investigations.<\/p>\n

During his 18-year tenure with FDLE, he served in various leadership roles, including those in special agent investigations for narcotics, money laundering, violent crime and domestic security. He has received numerous accolades at FDLE, including Excellence in Leadership, State Law Enforcement Officer of the Year and Special Agent of the Year. Prior to joining FDLE, Banks served at the Orange County Sheriff\u2019s Office for seven years in various roles. Banks also earned a B.S. at Florida State University.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am delighted to have the powerhouse talent of public safety on board that Danny Banks brings to Orange County Government,\u201d said Mayor Demings. \u201cHe will be a tremendous asset to our organization as we focus on enhancing public safety to better serve the needs of our growing population in the County.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayor Demings also served as Orange County Public Safety Director in 2002 through 2008.<\/p>\n

In Banks\u2019 new role, he will oversee both the Orange County Fire Rescue Department and Corrections Department.
