Sergeant Russ Tourangeau of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office is originally from Orange County, New York, where prior to graduating high school he witnessed a heroic justified officer-involved shooting. During his college years, Russ would take the Baltimore City Police exam, which would forever change the course of his life. While attending the City of Baltimore Police Academy, one of Russ’s classmates was nearly killed by a single, negligent, accidental gunshot to the head by an academy instructor. Russ, being a certified EMT, jumped into action and is credited with saving his classmate's life. Eventually, Russ would have to testify in a criminal case against the same instructor in a jury trial.
Russ Tourangeau is a current Sergeant with the Carroll County Sheriffs' Office in Maryland, where he supervises the community engagement and special events unit. He’s an advocate for peer support and is a tenured member of his agency’s peer support team. He is on the Executive Board of Maryland Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 20 and is also the founder of the Carroll County First Responders Peer Support Group that meets monthly where all walks of first responders attend to air their grievances and speak about what is on their mind.
