FREDERICA S. WILSON of florida in the house of representatives Friday, December 19, 2025 Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th district of the great State of Florida, I rise today to recognize and honor Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz on making history as Miami-Dade County's first female sheriff. On January 7, 2025, Sheriff Rosie assumed this historic role as the Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) transitioned back into a Sheriff's Office for the first time in nearly 60 years. Sheriff Rosie is a trailblazer and dedicated public servant with over 28 years of exemplary service in law enforcement. Her steadfast commitment to protecting and serving the people of Miami-Dade County has earned her the respect and admiration of her peers and the community alike. Rising through the ranks from police officer to assistant director, she has gained a profound understanding of the unique needs and challenges facing her community. Throughout her distinguished career, Sheriff Rosie has served in a wide range of assignments, including uniform patrol, special investigations, Media Relations Bureau, Robbery Bureau, Homicide Bureau, Professional Compliance Bureau, and Economic Crimes Bureau. Her extensive experience in police operations, investigations, supervision, and administration has prepared her to lead with confidence and integrity. In 2020, Sheriff Rosie was promoted to Police Division Chief of the North Operations Division, where she oversaw the administration and management of multiple districts, including the Intracoastal, Northside, Northwest, and Midwest Districts, as well as the Town of Miami Lakes. In 2022, she was promoted to Assistant Director of Support Services, where she managed Communications, Central Records, Personnel Management, and Cyber Crimes Bureaus. In 2024, she supervised Investigative Services, including the Criminal Investigations, Government Affairs, and Forensic Services Divisions. Sheriff Rosie also led Police Services, which included North and South Operations Divisions, the Airport and Seaport Operations Bureaus, three contractual cities, and the Special Patrol Bureau, serving as acting Assistant Director. Sheriff Rosie's leadership is defined by her unwavering commitment to safety, security, and community trust. Her top priorities as sheriff are to ensure the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office operates with the highest standards of ethics, professionalism, and respect. By maintaining order, protecting residents, and enforcing laws impartially, she is dedicated to making Miami-Dade County a safe and prosperous place for residents and visitors alike. Sheriff Rosie holds a Master's Degree in Public Administration from Florida International University and a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice from Marist College. She is a graduate of the Executive Leadership Program, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Academy (session 265), the Florida Police Chiefs STARS program, the Police Executive Leadership Institute (PELI), and the FBI National Executive Institute for Leadership (Session 46). Additionally, she serves as the current President of the Florida Chapter of the FBI National Academy Associates, the largest alumni chapter in the world. Mr. Speaker, Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz's groundbreaking appointment is an inspiration to future generations of law enforcement leaders. Her trailblazing leadership, dedication to public safety, and commitment to serving with integrity are truly commendable. I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz for her remarkable achievements and invaluable contributions to Miami-Dade County. ____________________
