In January 2022, County Manager Taco Pope instituted Customer Care Standards to guide both internal and external interactions and help foster a more positive workplace culture. A key component of this initiative is the Employee Recognition Program, which allows staff to nominate co-workers who exemplify Nassau County’s Customer Care Standards and/or demonstrate exceptional performance beyond their regular duties and responsibilities.

At the Wednesday, May 20, 2026 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners recognized the newest Employee of the Quarter, Fire Inspector/Investigator Thomas Ford.

Nassau County Fire Chief Brady Rigdon shared, “Thomas has a heart for public service,” before reading a portion of his nomination form that perfectly captured his commitment to the community:

“Inspector Ford consistently goes beyond what is required, demonstrating that customer service is not a task, but a responsibility. His actions reflect remembering who we work for — the citizens of Nassau County. His daily performance sets a standard that exceeds expectations. His professionalism, initiative, and genuine care for others make him a clear outlier among his peers and a highly deserving candidate for Employee of the Quarter.”

Congratulations, Thomas, and thank you for your dedication to serving Nassau County residents with excellence and compassion.
