aSomerset County
officer to be honored
EDGEFIELD, S.C. – Somerset County Wildlife Conservation Officer Travis Anderson is to be honored by the National Wild Turkey Federation for his work.
The Jerome resident will be recognized as the NWTF’s Pennsylvania wildlife law enforcement officer of the year during the federation’s
34th annual national convention Thursday-Feb. 21 in Nashville, Tenn.
“Travis’ record of successful prosecutions at the district and county levels are a direct reflection of the excellent job he does and the countless hours he spends on investigations, case preparations and presentations,” said Matt Hough, director of the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s Southwest Region. “He is well-respected and goes above and beyond the call of duty.”
Anderson and other state award winners will be eligible for the NWTF’s national law enforcement officer of the year award, which will be presented on Saturday during the convention.
The NWTF started its officer of the year award in 2000.
