 As a retired Supervisory Special Agent
for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Gregory D. Lee's expertise covers the entire law enforcement spectrum. He is
a federal and state court qualified expert witness who will thoroughly review both criminal and civil discovery material and
provide his clients with a comprehensive written case analysis based on his over 30-years of law enforcement experience. His
specific areas of expertise include police procedures, informant handling, deadly force, use of force, arrest procedures,
raid planning and execution, undercover operations, physical and electronic surveillance, money laundering, drug identification,
clandestine laboratories, terrorism, and investigative procedures, to name a few. As a criminal justice consultant, he provides a wide range of consulting, training, and expert witness
services for the legal community and law enforcement agencies. He recently participated in a complete assessment of Saudi
Arabia's drug enforcement organization and made specific recommendations on human capital management, governance, operations,
intelligence, equipment, operational support and training to make it more effective and efficient.
Mr. Lee is a contract instructor and has provided law enforcement training for various police departments around the
country.
On January 6, 2012, "Chief"
Lee retired with almost 40-years of active and reserve service from the U.S. Army Reserve as a Chief Warrant Officer
Five/Special Agent with the U.S. Army Reserve Criminal Investigation Command, better known as CID. He spent his
last year on active duty on special assignment as the law enforcement subject matter expert for the Special Operations Command
Europe J2 (Joint Intelligence), Stuttgart, Germany. He was deployed to Afghanistan February - April, 2011 to evaluate
the Rule of Law Counter-Insurgency strategy and created a comprehensive training curriculum designed for the International
Security Assistance Force, Special Operations Forces. He was awarded the Defense Meritorious Service Medal for his contributions. Based in Central California's beautiful Monterey Peninsula, Greg is
a Contributing Editor for http://www.FamilySecurityMatters.org/authors/id.87/author_detail.asp where he write columns on politics, the judiciary and law enforcement issues.
Greg literally wrote the book on drug investigations. He is the author
of Global Drug Enforcement: Practical Investigative Techniques, published by CRC Press (2004). Prentice Hall publishes
his other two books, Conspiracy Investigations: Terrorism, Drugs and Gangs (2005) and Practical Criminal Evidence
(2006). At the invitation of the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, NY, he wrote "The Global Drug Trade and
its Nexus to Terrorism," which is chapter 11 of Volume II, Part II, of Countering Terrorism and Insurgency in the
21st Century: International Perspectives, Praeger Security International/Greenwood Publishing Group, Inc. (2007). Throughout
his DEA career he wrote numerous articles for professional law enforcement publications.
He was the last Resident
Agent in Charge of DEA's Karachi Office, and lived and worked throughout Pakistan between 1994 and 1998, experiencing terrorism
first-hand. The office finally closed after it became too dangerous to continue operations there, even for the cowboys of
DEA. In 1995, while assigned at the U.S. embassy in Islamabad, he directly participated in the arrest of Ramzi Yousef, the
mastermind of the 1993 New York City World Trade Center bombing, collected vital evidence and later testified at his trial.
At the time of his arrest, Yousef was plotting to destroy 12 U.S. airliners simultaneously over the Pacific Ocean, which would
have caused the deaths of over 3,600 people, more than that experienced on 9/11. He appeared on the Discovery Channel's documentary
show, The FBI Files, concerning his contributions in the arrest of Mir Aimal Kanzi, the lone terrorist who murdered
two CIA employees outside their headquarters in 1993. While in Karachi, he was involved in the initial investigation of the
killing of four U.S. Citizen employees of the United Texas Petroleum Company, and their Pakistani driver, by terrorists. Mr. Lee has also appeared on CNN Newsroom, Larry King
Live, and the Fox News Channel's On the Record, with Greta Van Susteren. He is a frequent guest on radio talk
shows and has been quoted by numerous domestic and international newspapers and magazines. His unique experiences in Pakistan
are mentioned in two best-selling non-fiction books: Unholy Wars, by John K. Cooley, and 1000 Years For Revenge:
International Terrorism and the FBI, by Peter Lance.
Greg's last DEA assignment was at the Los Angeles Division as the Coordinator for the Organized Crime
Drug Enforcement Task Forces Program.
Prior to his assignment in Pakistan, Greg was an instructor at DEA's Office
of Training at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia where he trained many domestic and foreign law enforcement officials
around the world.
In 1990, he was a counselor and graduate of the 160th Session of the FBI National Academy.
He has guest lectured for the Department of Law at the United States Military Academy, West Point the Defense
Intelligence Agency's Joint Military Intelligence Training Center, Washington, DC and the Department of Defense
Executive Management Development and Training Program, sponsored by The George Washington University's Elliot School of International
Affairs, Washington, DC. He is also a frequent guest of radio talk shows throughout
the country.
In 2005, Mr. Lee was selected as the Lead Instructor for the U.S. Department of State's Antiterrorism
Assistance Program’s 9-week "Preventing, Interdicting and Investigating Acts of Terrorism" course conducted
in Islamabad, Pakistan. He last visited the Northwest Frontier Provence of Pakistan in 2007 when he trained Pakistani
