"I have worked with, for and around Russ Tuttle for over 25 years. As deputy sheriff’s with the Marion County (Indianapolis Indiana) Sheriff's Department we had parallel careers as we moved up within the ranks. Russ moved quicker and became the Deputy Chief of Investigations where I worked under his command. Russ left MCSO for the private sector after attending the FBI National Academy to join a global business with a significant security presence. We continued our business and personal acquaintance afterwards. I left to become a United States Marshal for Indiana and returned to the Marion County (IN) Sheriff’s office to become the two term elected sheriff. If it may appear this memo is about me, it is not.  I wanted you to know from whence I speak. In the entire time I knew Russ , I recognized Russ Tuttle’s leadership qualities and his command presence.  If an assignment, situation, or important matter needed to be handled, if Russ Tuttle was in the room, you knew Russ Tuttle was in the room. His obvious preparation and quick abilities to size up the needs of the public, a business or a client will always be his strong point. I’m honored to offer an opinion on the strength of Russ Tuttle on both his personal and professional life as outstanding."
