Williams County Sheriff Scott Busching began his adult life by joining the United States Army Airborne Infantry. Following his military service, Scott attended Law Enforcement basic training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Academy in Glynco, Georgia; and then went on to graduate from the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Over his 25 years of service in Law Enforcement, Scott has logged over 2,000 hours of law enforcement-related training.[Sheriff Scott Busching ]

A series of law enforcement-related positions comprise Scott's career. He spent five years as a game warden, three years at the Tewaukon National Wildlife Refuge and Wetlands and two years at the wetlands district in Crosby in southeast North Dakota. Following that, he returned to Williams County for a succession of positions, including: patrol deputy, patrol sergeant, detective in charge of narcotics investigations, chief deputy, and presently, Sheriff of Williams County.

Scott heard about the coalition through law enforcement contacts and has been with the coalition for seven years. His position requires him to be involved in coalitions such as this, but he is not sure he would be so involved if not for his job. Although he had no expectations when joining the coalition, Scott's particular area of interest lies in underage drinking. He expects the coalition to provide awareness to citizens regarding destructive behaviors and decisions, and he cites the main challenge of the coalition as too few people performing the majority of the work.
