Commitment to Community

Councilmember Whitman dedicates her time to giving back to the community. In 2014, Whitman graduated from the 41st Class of the Davie Civilian Police Academy and continued on as a “Citizen on Patrol.” Her core responsibility during that role was patrolling the neighborhood under the direction of the Town of Davie Police Department. Additionally, she served as president of the Orange Blossom Crime Watch for five years and coordinated the “National Night Out” program for the District 1 community.

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)

Whitman currently serves as a team leader for the Davie Fire Rescue Department’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program and is always on the lookout for volunteers interested in giving back to the community. She completed the 8-week course in 2015 and since then, she has encouraged others to acquire their certification and help their neighbors in need during a crisis. 

CERT has helped train more than 600 community members since the start of their program in 2009 on disaster preparedness skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization and disaster medical operations. Through this program, Whitman helps prepare Davie residents and business owners to respond to emergencies.
