Sheriff Kurt A. Hoffman is pleased to announce Detective Andrew Rowe has been recognized as the International Association of Financial Crimes Investigators (IAFCI) 2025 MasterCard Law Enforcement Officer of the Year. The IAFCI is a non-profit international organization which brings together law enforcement, banking and retail personnel to combat financial fraud by providing a forum in which financial fraud, fraud investigation and fraud prevention methods can be exchanged and shared between members for the betterment of the financial payment industry. Having previously won the Florida Chapter earlier this year, Detective Rowe was entered into the international competition along with members representing over thirty chapters from around the world. Rowe was ultimately selected as the winner by a panel of industry leaders during a blind vote, whereby the nominees’ names were removed, leaving only the merits of their case work as the deciding factor.
