In an effort to introduce our local police officers to the community and provide an opportunity for the CPD to highlight their outstanding officers, Covington Weekly profiles are provided by Chief Tim Lentz of the Covington Police Department.
Officer Turgeau started with the Covington Police Department a little over a year ago. Before beginning his law enforcement career, George worked as a trainer at 9 Round Fitness Center. Prior to becoming a trainer, George served our country for six years in the Army. He is a Covington native and graduated from St Paul’s High School. In his short time on the force, George has made a tremendous impact. It is not uncommon for him to stop by an elementary school and read books to the kids, or more recently bringing a little old lady to her doctors appointment on his day off. George embraces the community policing philosophy and is an example of what police officers across the country should be. George lives in Covington and enjoys spending time with his young son when he isn’t bring little old ladies to their doctors appointments.
The Covington Police Department is open 24/7. Emergencies call 911, non- emergencies, call 892-8500.
