FRENCH LICK, IN (WOWO) – Sheriff Dan Mawhorr of the Adams County Sheriff’s Office has been named Indiana Sheriff of the Year for 2025 by the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association (ISA).
Sheriff Mawhorr accepted the award at the Association’s annual conference last week in French Lick.
“I am so honored to be named as the Sheriff of the Year by my Peers,” said Sheriff Mawhorr. “I take the Office of Sheriff seriously every day I wear this Badge. I believe that you, as a Sheriff, must support your employees of your office each day and THANK them for their sacrifices.
Making the community part of the solution allows my office to Build Communities of Trust.
The 2025 ISA Annual Conference theme was One Voice.”
