Carbon County District Attorney Michael S. Greek announced he will run for a second term in office.

Greek was elected district attorney three years ago.

Three years ago, Greek was elected to the top law enforcement position after receiving nearly 60% of the vote in the general municipal election. He first joined the District Attorney’s office in 1997 and served as the First Assistant District Attorney before his election.

In addition to his duties as the district attorney, he serves as the president of the Carbon County Prison Board.

During his tenure, Greek has maintained his own case load and trials while implementing policies and procedures that have streamlined processes, reduced backlog of cases, and provided online access to victims. He has also created a district attorney’s government website, revamped a Crime Tip Line to include text and email, and generated social media profiles to keep the community informed.

Greek is active in encouraging regionalization of municipal police forces, the creation of a critical incident response team and regularly speaks with neighborhood organizations and schools offering information to the public about crime prevention and law enforcement.

He is in constant contact with law enforcement and collaborates with them in implementing new policies to protect officers and residents.

“It’s been an honor and privilege to serve this office and have the support and trust of a dedicated staff,” Greek said. “We all work hard to achieve justice for victims of crimes. In every case, our team works with the arresting officers and victims and considers all possible factors when determining decisions that impact the outcome of the case.”

Greek is lifetime resident of Carbon County with his wife and their two children and is a proud veteran of the U.S. Army.

“I look forward to the opportunity of continuing this momentum of progression in supporting law enforcement and protecting the citizens of our county,” Greek said of his bid for a second term.
