Following his discharge from the military, Anderson began a 52-year career in law enforcement, rising from a police officer in his small home town to a Chief in the California Highway Patrol. During his 35-year career in the CHP, Anderson served as Commander of the CHP Central Division, consisting of 17 field commands in nine counties. As a Captain, he was the Commander of the CHP Academy. Anderson also served as a legislative liaison in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. After retiring from the CHP, Anderson was elected and served four terms as Sheriff of Madera County. Following that he functioned as a District Representative for California State Senator Anthony Cannella. Anderson has also worked as a management consultant for the International Association of Chiefs of Police and conducted studies of several state law enforcement agencies.
