"Enduring Enforcement" - OFC Anthony Mauser

Our 2024 Traffic Safety Officer of the Year, OFC Anthony Mauser, joins us in studio for a compelling take on the importance of traffic enforcement. OFC Mauser traces his career path from tracking ospreys as a biologist to hunting DUIs as an officer—not for numbers, but for prevention. He breaks down how real DUI detection works at night: the “rhythm” of intersections, subtle cues that precede violations, and calm conversations that reveal more than a flashlight ever could. He’s blunt about the stakes—kids in cars, ruined lives, and the toll on first responders—and equally clear about the mission: visible presence to change behavior before a key turns in the ignition. Along the way, he shares field-tested stories from his US Park Ranger days, including a lost-hiker rescue and a bison goring triage that show how calm judgment and simple tools save lives.
