Michael McGinnis

Deputy Training Officer 2021-Present

In 2021 I began a leadership role as a Deputy Training Officer. As a Deputy Training Officer, I have instructed, educated, supervised, and counseled new probationary deputies. As a Deputy Training Officer, my goal has always been to give new probationary deputies the knowledge to be successful, effective, and a productive member of the Volusia Sheriffs Office.

Deputy Sheriff 2012-Present

Since being on patrol, I have performed various protective services, which included law enforcement, community relations, criminal investigations, and public safety. I began my patrol career in 2014 and was assigned to District 4, Deltona. I was stationed in Deltona between 2014 and 2020. In April 2020, I transferred to District Three South, where I continued my patrol career. While on patrol, I have made proactive arrests for theft, burglaries, narcotics, traffic offenses, and arrests warrants. In addition, I have personally been able to obtain arrest warrants and subpoenas though the investigations I have worked while on patrol. While in each district, I have spent my time helping and protecting the citizens of the communities I serve.
