Turner spent more than 22 years with the FBI, most recently serving as Chief Security Officer, where he led the Bureau’s global personnel and physical security mission.

Previously, Turner served as Chief of Counterespionage for the FBI, leading national-level efforts to identify, disrupt, and mitigate foreign intelligence threats in close coordination with Intelligence Community partners. He was at the forefront of countering state-sponsored intelligence services, including Russian and Chinese organizations, targeting U.S. government institutions, critical infrastructure, and national security equities. During his tenure, Turner served as the case agent for the Russian “illegals” investigation in the Washington, D.C. area, codenamed Ghost Stories.


Turner’s FBI career also included operational leadership roles in violent crime investigations in Maryland and Delaware, as well as support to efforts countering domestic terrorism and ideologically motivated violence.
