"As Chief of Investigations for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, I met Russ Tuttle when we attended the 222 session of the FBI National Academy. After our careers in law enforcement I worked under Russ in corporate security for a Fortune 500 company. Under Russ’ leadership we developed and implemented industry leading programs to protect the company assets from internal and external threats. Together we worked on several sensitive and complex investigations that led to both felony convictions and the recovery of millions of dollars in losses. Russ also developed a first of its kind partnership with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies making them partners in our security initiatives. Russ’ innovation and leadership have been recognized nationally in the field of corporate security and Law Enforcement."
