Brian Carrington
Army Veteran & Police Officer

“On several occasions, I needed to breach a door but had to do it without the proper tools. It’s a gut wrenching feeling to want to help someone but not being able to.”

Brian Carrington joined the US Army as an Infantryman in 1998. After completion of Airborne School he was assigned the 4th Ranger Training Battalion at Fort Benning Georgia.

He transitioned from active duty to the National Guard in 2002, joining the 111th Air Defense Brigade in Albuquerque New Mexico.

He has been a police officer for the last 10 years serving the diverse communities of a major metropolitan city.
