Scott Byrd

Born in Enterprise to Roy and Judy Byrd, my formative years were influenced greatly by my grandparents, Willie Mae and Rev. Q.P. Jones and Carrie Bell and Edward Byrd. Early on, my family instilled into me the importance of faith, hard work and responsibility. At the age of 14, I started working with Cobb Electric Motor Service and graduated from Enterprise High School in 1986.

After serving in the United States Coast Guard, I joined the Alabama National Guard. In 1992, I began my own company, Southern Electric Motor Service, which has prospered every year since its inception. A vital factor in our success has been a focus on employing, training and equipping others to serve our communities and military facilities at the highest level.

Since 1999, I've served in the Sheriff's office protecting the citizens of Coffee County under two different sheriffs. Along the way, I put myself through the law enforcement academy and in 2010 I was promoted to Captain of the Reserves.

My wife KD and I have two wonderful daughters and are members of Enterprise First Baptist Church. I love the outdoors, hunting and fishing. I believe in Jesus Christ. I am conservative, a lifelong Republican and support our Constitution. As Sheriff, I will do everything in my power to protect and defend our constitutional rights.

Qualifications:

Captain of Coffee County Sheriff’s Deputy Reserves, 23 years in Coffee County law enforcement, served under two sheriffs, US Veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard and the Alabama National Guard, lifelong Republican, Coffee County native, 30 years Business Owner serving Coffee County and U.S. Military.
