Phil Strohm

Hi, I'm Phil and I am a Sergeant with the Delaware State Police.  I have been with the Delaware State Police for Twenty years. I was originally assigned to Troop 1, Penny Hill, before I transferred to the Accident Reconstruction Unit where I spent 12 years.  I am currently the officer in charge of the Delaware State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit, enforcing state and federal regulations on commercial motor vehicles operating in Delaware.

I wanted to become a Delaware State Trooper while I attended the University of Delaware.  I took some Criminal Justice classes, found them interesting, and I applied to become a Delaware State Police Officer.

I have been with the First State Force band since the beginning.  I came to the band when then Attorney General Jane Brady took over in the summer of 1991, so it's been 16 1/2 years now!!!

I've been playing guitar since I was six years old.  I was in various school bands.  When I got to High School, I took up drums so I could play snare drum in the Mt. Pleasant High School Marching Band.  I've always enjoyed music and played for a short time with the Delaware State Police Pipe and Drums.

Since Joining the First State Force Band, I've played rhythm guitarr.  I play a Gibson Les Paul electric and a Taylor accoustic.

Remember kids, Just say NO...to drugs.
