Sergeant Anthony M. Wallace exemplifies the highest standards of leadership and dedication in law enforcement. A proud veteran of the U.S. Army, Sgt. Wallace’s military background shaped his desire for a meaningful career. He is dedicated to making a positive difference in others’ lives, and he brings a disciplined, mission-driven approach to his role with the Maryland Department of State Police.  

He is motivated by a sense of responsibility to protect those who are unable to defend themselves and preserving innocent lives, such as those of motorists unwittingly sharing a road with impaired drivers. Sgt. Wallace’s passion for DUI enforcement has not only saved lives but also inspired a new generation of troopers to uphold the same commitment to public safety.  

As a leader, Sgt. Wallace goes beyond expectations. He mentors and trains fellow officers, ensuring they are equipped with the tools and knowledge to succeed. In 2024, under his guidance, every member of his team achieved over 100 DUI arrests—a testament to his ability to motivate and lead by example. His influence extends beyond his department, as he teaches at statewide DUI conferences, sharing his expertise with allied officers and prosecutors, demonstrating a commitment to the profession as a whole. 

Sgt. Wallace’s leadership is rooted in service. He actively participates in multi-jurisdictional initiatives and fosters a culture of accountability and excellence. His work is not just about enforcement—it’s about protecting lives and building a safer community for all Maryland residents. 

“My biggest accomplishment is being able to lead and grow other troopers—I am invested in the success of my team and my department.”
