Phil Griebel, Undersheriff
I graduated from Gladstone High School in 1985 and from Northern Michigan University in 1991 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Law Enforcement. My first Law Enforcement job was with the Shawano County Sheriff’s Office in Wisconsin. I was hired in 1995 by the Delta County Sheriff’s Office as a Corrections Officer and I started working Road Patrol in 1996 after finishing the NMU Regional Police Academy. I held the rank of Sergeant from 2003 until 2010. I was then promoted to Lieutenant in 2010 until I was appointed Undersheriff in 2013.
We have a hardworking, professional staff at this department and I’m very proud to serve with each and everyone of them.
