(Indianapolis, IN) – Governor-elect Mike Braun plans to appoint a Greensburg resident to be the next Indiana State Police Superintendent.
Captain Anthony Scott brings nearly three decades of ISP experience to the job, and currently serves as captain 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,” said Governor-elect Braun. “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.”
Scott, who is a 2019 graduate of the FBI National Academy, began with ISP as a state trooper in 1996, and rose up the ranks to serve in various roles including detective, district investigative commander, lieutenant and captain.
The Governor-elect says Scott also has a demonstrated history of leading security operations for major events across Indiana and the Midwest.
He previously served as the special events supervisor for presidential and dignitary visits, the Indianapolis 500, the Brickyard 400 and the Indianapolis Grand Prix.
He also deployed to Cleveland in 2016 and Milwaukee in 2024 to assist with security for the 2016 and 2024 Republican National Conventions as a member of the command team.
“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,” said Scott. “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.”
Scott holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Cumberland College, where he graduated with honors.
He previously served as a board member on the Greensburg Community Schools Safety Committee and as a Greensburg Jr. High School girls basketball coach.
Scott succeeds current ISP Superintendent Doug Carter, who will retire when Governor-elect Braun takes the oath of office in January.
