A 29-year law enforcement veteran died Tuesday, September 1st, following a battle with cancer.

Wesley Davison, 55, started his law enforcement career with the Dania Police Department on May 1, 1980 and graduated from the 83rd Police Academy.

Wes joined the BSO family on October 1, 1988 when Dania Beach merged with BSO. Wes remained in Dania Beach and continued to serve the city as a patrol deputy, detective and field training officer (FTO) until his promotion to sergeant in 1997. Once promoted to sergeant Wes transferred to BSO’s Unincorporated Fort Lauderdale Central Broward district. Wes served as a patrol sergeant for 10 years, from October 30, 1997 until March 1, 2007.

In March of 2007 Sergeant Davison was tasked with supervising the Detective Division within the Central Broward District. While battling the disease that finally claimed his life, Wes continued to serve with pride and dedication.

Sgt. Davison joined his fellow employees on June 5, 2009 at BSO’s Relay for Life at Markham Park, benefiting the American Cancer Society.
