Since 1989, LoRusso has been a certified law enforcement officer.

Steven Gaynor, President of the FOP Lodge 13, remarked, "Lance was once a Cobb County Police Officer and worked hard to put himself through law school while working a police beat. He has walked the beat in our boots. This makes him the right person to respond to an officer-involved shooting situation because he knows firsthand what stress and conflicts face an officer who has just been forced to shoot someone and possibly take that person's life."
