One of Tuck’s primary and highly visible tasks was ensuring that county government and its citizens received the full benefits of a multi-year, $700 million IT Outsourcing Contract, making the county the first municipal government to outsource all IT functions to the private sector.

In 2002, Tuck became the general manager for the Public Safety Group.
