Striving for excellence in our profession has been Anthony’s focus for almost 25 years. As the current Investigations Bureau Commander at the Gainesville Police Department, he has served the community and the agency in a multitude of roles including: DUI Enforcement, Motor Unit Commander, Lead Traffic Homicide Investigator, Administrative Bureau Commander, Training Bureau Commander, and of course, years in the Operations Bureau, rising through the ranks up to District Commander. He has also been teaching at the Santa Fe College’s Institute of Public Safety for almost 20 years, helping develop the future practitioners of the career we call public service. His instruction style exemplifies the word “co-learning” because he feels our best teachers are each other’s true life experiences, so sharing is a mandatory objective in his curriculum.
