• DEA-Group Supervisor Border Response Initiative (BRI)

  • Oct 2011 - Nov 2013

  As the group supervisor, I managed the Border Response Group (BRG). BRG is comprised of 8 full time Border Patrol Agents, 2 full time entry level DEA-Special Agents and six 90 day rotational DEA-Special Agents. My group supervisor responsibilities required me to have an extensive background in case investigations. I was responsible for the overall planning, organization, administration, and coordination of all Border Patrol narcotics cases, which were accepted for federal prosecution in both New Mexico and the Western District of Texas. I managed all referred Border Patrol cases and oversaw the criminal investigation. These investigations were complex and my responsibility was to supervise each case from its conception to its outcome. I also managed financial and administrative facets for each agent and their respective cases. In addition, I served as the El Paso Sector authority representing Border Patrol in case negotiations with the Assistant U.S. Attorney in both the Western District of Texas and New Mexico. My specialized experience is extensive. I have served as case agent and now as a supervisory agent/Group Supervisor responsible for planning and directing broad investigations of national or international scope. I provided administrative and technical supervision over the BRG. During my supervision of these cases, I thoroughly reviewed them in order to determine if a public corruption nexus existed. Once a criminal nexus was established, I followed all protocols and procedures to report my findings through the Joint Intake Center (JIC). As the case developed and evolved, we worked in conjunction with those agencies charged with investigating public corruption violations. These agencies are DHS-OIG, ICE-OPR, CBP-OIA, and the FBI Public Corruption Task Force.
