Anthony later completed a Doctor of Philosophy in sociology from the same institution, with his doctoral dissertation focusing on police organizational behavior. During this period, he also served as a captain in the United States Air Force from 1978 to 1982.

Law enforcement career

Anthony joined the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department in 1980, embarking on a 23-year career in law enforcement. He rose through the ranks, serving in various capacities including patrol officer, detective, and supervisor in units such as Organized Crime and Internal Affairs. His service included assignments in the Narcotics Division and the SWAT team. Anthony retired at the rank of captain in 2003, having also served as the deputy commander of the Detectives Bureau.

Political career

Following his retirement from law enforcement, Anthony entered public service, winning a seat on the Nevada Board of Regents in 2004, where he served until 2008. His tenure on the board overseeing the University of Nevada, Reno and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas focused on fiscal policy and campus security. This electoral success paved the way for his subsequent campaign for the Las Vegas City Council.

During his tenure, he chaired the Metro Police Fiscal Affairs Committee and served on the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada.
