Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Detective Fiona Ebrill was named the "Law Enforcement Officer of the Year" for 2019 by the Victim’s Service Coalition of the Seventh Judicial Circuit and Halifax Health Hospice on Friday, April 12.
Ebrill, who has worked for the FCSO for five years, was nominated for the award by Sheriff Rick Staly and Commander Jennifer Taylor.
She was selected to be the FCSO domestic violence detective in January 2018. That year, she carried an extensive caseload of almost 200 cases. Not only has she followed up with these victims to make sure they are receiving the services needed to empower them, but she makes sure the victims know she is there for them throughout the process.
Since her assignment as a dedicated detective to investigate domestic violence cases, FCSO has seen a 33% reduction in stalking cases, a 98% increase in arrests for violation of injunction and a 48% increase in domestic violence arrests. In addition, the State Attorney's Office is filing charges in 17% more cases.
“Detective Ebrill consistently demonstrates integrity, dependability and professionalism,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “Her compassion for others, dedication to her position and her work ethic has earned her respect from co-workers, supervisors and the community that she proudly serves. She is deserving of this honor, and I'm proud to have her on our team.”
