Jesse Bynum

Highly effective Special Agent in the Special Investigations Unit for the Bureau of Criminal Investigations with over 23 years of law enforcement experience . Specializing in emerging trends and technologies in law enforcement, I have conducted investigations for Internet Crimes Against Children, Property Crimes, crypto-currency, dark web related crimes, local and state drug trafficking organizations, multi-state investigations, and cartel involved multi-country investigations. Throughout my career, I have actively pursued opportunities for supervision, having served as a shift manager in a restaurant setting and later for a security company. Additionally, I have held leadership positions as the President of a benevolent association and as a board member for a statewide organization that provides training for narcotics officers. As I continue my journey towards receiving the FBI Trilogy award, I have successfully collaborated with multiple departments across county and state lines, demonstrating effective communication and problem-solving skills to achieve successful case outcomes. With my experience as a Police Officer, corporate security background, and volunteer firefighter experience, I bring strong technology knowledge and have been assigned to county-wide task forces for drug enforcement, criminal patrol, and OVI. Known for my ability to handle emergency and stressful situations with imagination, initiative, and problem-solving capability, I possess extensive knowledge of law enforcement administration principles, investigative procedures and practices, legal liabilities associated with arrest and law enforcement, courtroom procedures, and laws of evidence. Furthermore, I have proven my ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with coworkers, other agencies, and a diverse public.
