Summary

Frank retired from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF) in 2014, which is part of the U.S. Department of Justice, after 25 years of service. The majority of his career was as a Supervisory Special Agent (GS-14). His primary duties were in relation to complex investigations to include undercover operations. He conducted three separate infiltrations of his own into three Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (Brothers, MC, Vagos MC and an Aryan Brother motorcycle club know as the Order of Blood MC). He also worked alongside other agents in an undercover capacity supporting those who were infiltrating the Outlaws MC, Hells Angels MC, Pagans MC and Warlocks MC both as a field agent and supervisor. He coordinated many efforts with other federal, state local and foreign law enforcement partners. He helped to develop and later served as the Special Agent in Charge of the Undercover Branch in Washington DC for approximately three years. He served as an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Coordinator (OCDETF) for the Southeast Region of the United States, as a Group Supervisor (GS) for the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) in Dallas, TX and as a GS in Youngstown, OH for the ATF Columbus Field Division/Field Operations. He served on the USSOCOM training advisory board for Signature Reduction for approximately five years. He also served two years as the Vice Chair for the Federal Law Enforcement Agencies Domestic Working Group as it relates to cover. He served for three years as the DoD/DIA Liaison Officer for ATF working with the Special Mission Units and other Special Operations Forces in regards to Signature Reduction and overseas operations. He developed law enforcement support for the SOF community for their various training venues within the continental United States for over ten years.
