LONGTIME SHERIFF’S OFFICE EMPLOYEE CELEBRATES 40 YEARS

Sheriff’s Capt. Lee Ann Holroyd recently completed her 40th year with the Sheriff’s Office — making her the longest-serving full-time member with the agency.

“Capt. Holroyd is a vital member of my team and a good friend,” said Sheriff Rick Ramsay. “Her tenure with the Sheriff’s Office is a testament to her dedication to this community and I couldn’t be prouder of her.”

Ramsay and Holroyd attended the police academy together and have worked together since the beginning of their careers.

Holroyd is the inspector general and supervises the Internal Affairs Division as well as the Airport Security Division.

Holroyd began her Sheriff’s Office career in 1983 as a civilian employee and became a sworn law enforcement officer in 1987. She served on road patrol and as a school Resource Officer before beginning a long stint as a detective with the South Florida High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area — a group of law enforcement officers who target the region’s drug-related threats. That work prepared her well for her next role as lieutenant of the Special Operations Division, which also includes narcotics investigations. She has been a captain since 2015 and serves as one of Ramsay’s command staff officers and advisors.

She is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, a national training program that augments and strengthens law enforcement officer standards and knowledge. She is also a member or board member of a litany of civic and community service groups throughout Monroe County.
