Leo Barnes, also known as The Sergeant, is a fictional character in The Purge film series. The character is portrayed by Frank Grillo in The Purge: Anarchy (2014) and in The Purge: Election Year (2016).

Several months before events of Anarchy, Warren Grass, while drunk driving, kills Nicholas (whose name is mentioned in the film), the son of Leo Barnes, a Los Angeles Police Department sergeant. Grass was charged with driving under the influence, but is acquitted on legal technicalities. An enraged and bereaved Barnes seeks to avenge his son's death and comes up with a plan to do it on the next annual Purge.

In the year 2023, one year after the events of the first film, prior to the seventh annual nationwide Purge, a Los Angeles-based anti-Purge group headed by Carmelo Johns and his partner, the Stranger from the first film named Dante Bishop (Edwin Hodge), hack into satellite feeds to denounce the New Founding Fathers.

Leo Barnes (who is only identified as the Sergeant throughout the film) is off duty on that day and arms up before the commencement. His ex-wife Janice tries to convince him that purging will not bring their son back. She urges him not to go through with his plans, but Leo goes against her advice. He goes out to the streets armed with one rifle and a few handguns in his modified muscle car.
