Gary Edgington, a law enforcement and counter-terrorism veteran, hails from a family of dedicated officers. His law enforcement journey, both inspiring and harrowing, began at the LA Sheriff’s Academy, where he suffered a personal tragedy when his father was killed in the line of duty during his third week of training.
Undeterred by his father's death, Gary served in several Southern California departments before serving as a Special Agent with the California Department of Justice. Gary also served with the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force and lead a multi-agency counter-terrorism task force.
Post-retirement, Gary didn't slow down. He served in Iraq as a counter-terrorism expert.
