| About Me | Graham W. Fountain has enjoyed a distinguished career in state and local law enforcement, governmental regulation and public safety. Graham was appointed by Gov.Jeb Bush as Director (Law Enforcement Colonel) in 1999 to head up Commercial Vehicle Law Enforcement for the Florida Department of Transportation. During his tenure, he was successful in bringing major accomplishments in the areas of highway safety and homeland security programs and providing leadership that resulted in the agency receiving professional law enforcement agency accreditation. Graham also served in various public safety and regulatory posts including Undersheriff of Okaloosa County, Florida; Chief Investigator for Florida Office of the Comptroller, Department of Banking and Finance; Law Enforcement Investigator II, Office of the State Treasurer, Insurance Commissioner/Fire Marshal’s, Division of Insurance Fraud and Okaloosa County Deputy Sheriff. He is the recipient of numerous awards for his investigative and management performance in his fields of expertise. His unique style of bringing about cooperation between private industry and government has proven successful in nurturing the economy while still protecting the taxpayers. Well known for his “straight forward” approach and ability to effectively communicate issues and build teams and support organizations for the cause at hand, Graham has gained a strong reputation for delivering initiatives that had a small chance of success.
