The son of a State Trooper, Carter followed in his father\u2019s footstep and in July 1984 he was accepted into the 42<sup>nd<\/sup>\u00a0Indiana State Police Recruit School.\r\n\r\nHe served eighteen years with the Indiana State Police from November 1984 until December 2002 and was assigned to the Pendleton State Police District while serving in Hamilton County. In 2002, Carter sought the elected office of Sheriff of Hamilton County and ultimately served two terms from January 2003 through December 2010 as the elected Sheriff.\r\n\r\nAppointed by Governor Mike Pence, Carter became Indiana\u2019s 20<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Superintendent of the State Police on January 14, 2013, and was reappointed by Governor Eric Holcomb on January 13, 2017.\r\n\r\nNot one to shy away from the public spotlight, he led the State Police through some of the most difficult times to include civil unrest in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic, decreased public perception of law enforcement and two of the highest profile cases in the agency\u2019s history, the Delphi double murders and Flora fire investigations.\r\n\r\nThrough it all, Carter and his staff continued to take the State Police forward by providing body\/in-car cameras for all Sergeants and Troopers, state-of-the-art communications equipment, moving to an all-SUV patrol fleet, a more robust training program, bringing more resources for mental health assistance to employees, and an increased effort in recruiting and retention, to name a few.\r\n\r\nCarter, who served as Superintendent for 12 years, was the longest serving Superintendent in the nearly 92-year history of the Indiana State Police.\r\n\r\nCarter resides in Hamilton County with his family.\r\n\r\nDistinguished Awards:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Sagamore of the Wabash presented by Governor Evan Bayh<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Indiana State Police Silver Star Award for Meritorious Service and Outstanding Heroism<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Public Service Award \u2013 Indiana University Kokomo School of Public and Environmental Affairs<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Government Agency Partnership Award \u2013 Indianapolis Department of Public Safety<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Sagamore of the Wabash presented by Governor Eric Holcomb<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-91494\" src=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Carter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1306\" height=\"1633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Carter.jpg 1306w, https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Carter-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Carter-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Carter-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Carter-1228x1536.jpg 1228w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1306px) 100vw, 1306px\" \/><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<script  src=\"https:\/\/\/pagead\/js\/.js?client=0531879237494766\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"\"\r\n     style=\"display:block;
