Officer of the Year Award<\/strong> \u2013 Deputy Ryan M. DeLong<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sheriff Ryan M. DeLong has distinguished himself in the performance of service to the citizens of Genesee County during 2020. Deputy DeLong\u2019s professionalism and dedication are evident every day at work. He is a 5 1\/2-year veteran of the Sheriff\u2019s Office but displays knowledge beyond his years. This is due to his continuous initiative to learn, through both formal departmental training and on his own with outside courses and reading. Deputy DeLong has consistently been one of the most productive deputies, almost always at the top in arrests and vehicle and traffic stops every year and was recently promoted to Investigator. He has made numerous arrests, including multiple felonies, by using what he has learned and goes above and beyond. Deputy DeLong has made several felony drug arrests, including one that a handgun was seized. Deputy DeLong is also eager to share knowledge and his experiences with other deputies. He is a relied-upon Field Training Officer and one that is looked upon routinely to train recruits. Deputy DeLong is also a Drug Recognition Expert and has been instrumental in arrests and prosecutions of numerous cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sheriff Ryan M. DeLong has reflected great credit upon himself and the Genesee County Sheriff\u2019s Office and most deserves to be named Officer of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
