@davidpawson
Experienced federal investigator and supervisor specializing in human trafficking enforcement.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-oriented federal investigator and supervisor with extensive experience leading investigative teams, conducting complex criminal inquiries, and ensuring compliance with federal investigative standards. I combine investigative rigor with data-driven process improvements to elevate case outcomes and report quality.
During my tenure at Homeland Security Investigations I led teams focused on human trafficking and smuggling, improved report accuracy through targeted training, and drove measurable increases in successful prosecutions and HSI-led investigations. I have a proven record of building partnerships with state and local agencies to amplify operational effectiveness.
I hold a BS in Criminal Justice (Summa Cum Laude), a Top Secret clearance, and specialized federal training. I bring strong leadership, training, and case-management skills, and remain committed to protecting vulnerable populations and ensuring investigative integrity.
