CAFM Office Hours: Maintenance Management with Tim Coxwell (May 2026)
2026-05-13 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
The notion of “office hours” traces its roots back to an academic tradition. During this designated time, students were aware that they could visit a professor’s office to seek advice, discuss ideas, tackle challenges, and find solutions with the guidance of an expert. Now, you have the opportunity to benefit from Office Hours as well!  Rather than meeting with professors, you’ll have the chance to connect with a busy, knowledgeable, well-connected CAFM who has dedicated time specifically for you and your fellow candidates. As you aspire to attain your CAFM, your Office Hours Host is here to assist.
In this session, our faculty will:
• showcase his career journey and experiences
• teach a 30-minute insider lesson on one competency – Maintenance Management
• share their favorite test taking pro-tip
• engage in open dialogue to answer your questions
Meet Your Host: Tim Coxwell is the Fleet Director for the Leon County Sheriff’s Office in Tallahassee, FL, serving since 2013 and CAFM certified. Tim manages 576 vehicles, six technicians and advises his staff on complex plans to encourage Fleet Customers and Fleet Staff Members to work closer than ever for us to accomplish our sustainable goals. The CAFM experience has been the cornerstone of his fleet recovery.

2026-03-31 13:00 - 14:00
Operating a 24/7 law enforcement fleet leaves no room for downtime — yet many agencies still struggle with reactive maintenance, unpredictable costs, and replacement debates that surface too late.
Join Tim Coxwell, Fleet Director for the Leon County Sheriff’s Office, as he shares how his team manages more than 500 police vehicles in Florida’s capital county — balancing fleet readiness, fiscal accountability, and long-range capital planning under constant operational pressure.
Coxwell will discuss how Leon County:

Built a data-driven preventative maintenance strategy
Integrated telematics, fuel systems, and lifecycle data
Developed long-range replacement forecasting through 2040
Reduced operational surprises in a high-risk, 24/7 environment

Tim will be joined by a FASTER fleet management expert to explore how public safety agencies can move from reactive maintenance to predictable readiness.

If you oversee a public safety fleet and want fewer surprises, stronger budget defensibility, and improved uptime — this session is for you.

Zero Emissions Vehicle Options for Law Enforcement (March 2026)
2026-03-19 14:00 - 15:30
Law enforcement agencies are rapidly expanding their use of battery-electric vehicles (EVs) for patrol, traffic enforcement, and specialty assignments—driven by fuel and maintenance savings, emissions goals, and the emergence of pursuit-capable platforms. This webinar will provide a practical, decision-focused look at what it takes to evaluate, procure, and operate EVs in law enforcement, including duty-cycle fit, charging strategy, upfitting and equipment loads, vehicle downtime, and total cost of ownership.
Join this webinar to hear candid, first-hand lessons learned from a large municipal police department with a year of experience operating a fleet of Chevy Blazer Police Pursuit Vehicles, plus a retired police chief and change-management consultant who will address the organizational and cultural shifts needed for successful fleet electrification. We’ll also explore how EV pursuit platforms perform under rigorous vehicle dynamics testing—what metrics matter most, how to interpret results, and the key questions to ask as you assess EVs for your agency’s operational needs.
