COVINGTON, Ky. – The City of Covington is proud to announce that Senior Code Enforcement Inspector Alejandro Medina has been appointed as a Regional Representative for the Code Enforcement Officer Safety Foundation (CEOSF), a national nonprofit organization dedicated to improving safety for code enforcement professionals.
Medina has served with the City of Covington since April 2022. In his day-to-day role, he conducts exterior property inspections, rental inspections, and abandoned property inspections—work that plays a critical role in maintaining safe and livable neighborhoods across the city.
In this new role, Medina will represent Region 5, which includes Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. As a Regional Representative, he will serve as a volunteer ambassador for CEOSF, helping to build connections across the region and promote the organization’s mission of enhancing safety, training, and awareness for code enforcement officers.
Founded in November 2020, the Code Enforcement Officer Safety Foundation has quickly grown into a leading voice in the field, expanding its reach through regional representation, developing the international Code Official Safety Specialist training program, tracking officer safety data, and partnering with major industry organizations such as the International Code Council (ICC) and the American Association of Code Enforcement (AACE).
Medina’s appointment reflects both his professional dedication and the City’s broader commitment to excellence in public service.
“Alejandro’s selection to this role speaks to his leadership and commitment to keeping both our community and fellow officers safe,” Neighborhood Services Director Brandon Holmes said. “His involvement at the national level brings valuable insight and recognition to Covington and strengthens our Code Enforcement Division.”
As part of his new role, Medina will participate in additional training to further develop his expertise in officer safety and best practices. His involvement will help ensure that Covington remains at the forefront of code enforcement strategies and continues to provide the highest level of service to those who live, work, and play in our community.
“This position will help promote the safety and professionalism of code officials, which directly impacts the city’s ability to serve its residents effectively,” Medina said. “When code enforcement officers are better trained and supported, it leads to stronger neighborhoods and more positive interactions with the community.”
Medina also emphasized the importance of community understanding when it comes to code enforcement work.
“We care very much about the City and its residents,” he said. “We’re not out looking to give people a hard time—we’re here to help them live in safer neighborhoods. A lot of what we do is working with residents to find solutions that improve their quality of life.”
