SIBLEY, Iowa After more than 40 years in law enforcement, Osceola County’s sheriff is calling it a career at the end of this month.
Doug Weber has been with the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office since 1979. He began his career as an officer with Sanborn Police Department the previous year.
“I’d always been interested in law enforcement and after high school graduation I attended college, earning degrees in law enforcement and public administration,” Weber said.
Starting his career with Osceola County as a deputy, he served as first deputy and chief deputy prior to becoming sheriff. He was first elected to the office of sheriff in 2005, and went on to serve four terms in that capacity.
