SPEAKER - George Clow, Retired FBI
George entered on duty as a Special Agent of the FBI in January, 1971, after service as a US Naval officer.
He was assigned to field offices in New Orleans, Dallas, and San Juan, Puerto Rico before being transferred to FBI Headquarters, Washington, DC in 1985. While there, George was assigned to the Office of Professional Responsibility and supervised all investigations of allegations of serious misconduct and criminality by FBI employees. In 1987, George began a tour of duty at the Drug Enforcement Administration, Washington, DC, during which he assisted in establishing and managing DEA's national investigative efforts in the methamphetamine program.
In July 1993, Attorney General Janet Reno appointed George as the Inspector-in-Charge of the UNABOM Task Force, a joint investigative effort involving many Federal and state police agencies of 16 serial bombings by a then unknown assailant resulting in three deaths and other serious injuries. This appointment followed two bombings that occurred in this case after a six year hiatus.
George retired from the FBI in 2006 and was subsequently employed for 11 years with Visa, the world's largest and most successful card payment system. He retired as Visa's General Auditor in December 2007.
George and his wife, Paula, moved to Montana in May 2004 where they have made Red Lodge their permanent home.
