Dodge County Deputy Scott Anderson was awarded the 2025 Wisconsin Traffic Safety Officers’ Association Officer of the Year at the annual conference in Wisconsin Dells.

His work in traffic safety, impaired driving enforcement, along with his work with his K9 partner, Bak and his influence on training new deputies on the importance of traffic safety earned him this prestigious honor. 

Deputy Anderson has been a member of the Dodge County Sheriff's Office since July, of 2019. In that time, he has proven to be a dedicated traffic safety officer and has a passion for impaired driving enforcement. In 2025, Deputy Anderson conducted 57 impaired driving investigations resulting in arrests, in addition to that he also completed 15 evaluations for multiple agencies. Deputy Anderson is a leader in his agency in traffic enforcement with over 450 traffic stops in 2025.

Deputy Anderson achieves all of this in addition to being a K9 handler for his K9 partner, Bak. Deputy Anderson deployed K9 Bak 106 times last year resulting in 56 arrests and 95 drug seizures, totaling over $45,400 in street value of drugs. Those drug seizures were primarily during traffic contacts which resulted in large amounts of drugs being taken off of Dodge County streets and highways. During some of those traffic contacts, Deputy Anderson also made two arrests for felons in possession of a firearm. One of the firearms happened to be stolen from the state of Kentucky.
