INDIANAPOLIS — After Indiana Governor-elect Mike Braun announced the individuals who he intends to be his cabinet secretaries next year, Braun named his intended appointment for the superintendent position of the Indiana State Police.
According to a news release from Braun’s transition team, Braun announced on Thursday that he intends to appoint Captain Anthony Scott as the superintendent of the Indiana State Police. Currently, Scott serves as the capital and area commander responsible for enforcement and investigative operations across multiple state police districts.
“Captain Scott’s extensive experience at every level of the Indiana State Police uniquely qualifies him to lead our state’s law enforcement agency,” Braun said in a news release. “His proven track record of success, commitment to community partnerships, and focus on both public safety and operational efficiency align perfectly with our vision for a safer Indiana.”
The release said Scott started serving the Indiana State Police in 1996 as a state trooper. Scott has since served in several roles, including detective, district investigative commander, lieutenant and captain.
“I have been honored to serve the Indiana State Police over the past three decades and am humbled to answer Governor-elect Braun’s request to lead these dedicated men and women in law enforcement,” Scott said in the release. “The Indiana State Police will continue to protect and serve all Hoosiers with a clearly defined mission focused on quality of life and crime prevention while promoting the values of courage, commitment, and character to encourage both personal and professional growth within our ranks.”
