Gregory D. Lee is a nationally syndicated columnist who is a retired Supervisory
Special Agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). He is also a former instructor for DEA'S Office of
Training at the FBI Academy, Quantico, VA. 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 a Middle East country's drug enforcement organization and made specific recommendations on Human Resource
management, governance, operations, intelligence, equipment, operational support and training to make it more
effective and efficient. Mr. Lee has
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. Based in Central California's beautiful Monterey Peninsula, Greg writes
a weekly column for http://www.northstarnational.com/category/gregorydlee/, and he is a Contributing Editor for http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/authors/id.87/author_detail.asp. His columns can be found in newspapers and on many other websites. Mr. Lee's expertise covers the entire spectrum of law enforcement. He is
a qualified expert witness who will thoroughly review both criminal and civil discovery material and provide his clients with
a written case analysis based on his over 30-years of law enforcement experience. His specific areas of expertise include
police procedure, informant use and management, 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.
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.
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 police in operational planning.
