Ben Davis has been named as the 2007 Tennessee Wildlife Officer of the Year. Davis received and was presented his award at the annual Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Association (SEAFWA) Conference, held in Charleston, West Virginia.

SEAFWA is an organization whose members are the state agencies with primary responsibility for management and protection of the fish and wildlife resources in 16 states, Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands.

Davis, assigned to Bradley County, is an integral part of the Area 33 team in Southeastern Tennessee. His activities are directed to all facets of a professional multi-purpose wildlife officer. Davis understands the importance of educating and introducing the younger generation to hunting and fishing and his attitude and teaching ability keeps him involved in virtually all youth events in the area. His approach to teamwork finds him assisting other Wildlife Officers and Law Enforcement Agencies (local, state, and federal) with their needs.

A self-motivated officer, Davis is always looking for new opportunities to enhance wildlife in his county and new ways to accomplish the Agency’s goals. All of his actions are accomplished within the context of the Area 33 team.

Davis never misses an opportunity to make a friend for the Agency. He assists stranded motorists and boaters at every opportunity. A multi-purpose officer and career professional, his pleasant demeanor, strong work ethic, attitude, and sense of fairness have helped lead him to become among the top of the TWRA officers.
