The new special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in Washington, Forget Jarod, is a veteran with experience fighting the Mexican cartels.
Forget worked for a number of years at the DEA office in Guadalajara, one of 10 offices the agency has deployed in Mexico, where he has been able to fight Mexican drug traffickers such as Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, The Mencho, and Joaquín, El Chapo, Guzmán, who was sentenced to life in the United States in 2019.
From Guadalajara, Forget led many high-profile police operations against the “ most notorious and ruthless drug cartels in Mexico, ” such as the Sinaloa and Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartels.
“Special Agent in Charge Forget brings a wealth of experience, knowledge and skills that will greatly benefit the Washington division and the local community,” said Timothy Shea, Deputy DEA Director.
The new head of the DEA in the US capital has led many law enforcement operations worldwide, for example, he has worked to dismantle violent international drug trafficking organizations.
It has also dismantled some illegal opioid smuggling organizations in China and Mexico, and established joint strike forces to combat community problems on US soil, such as violent crime and the opioids themselves, the DEA said.
Throughout his career, Forget has also held leadership positions in the Miami Division, the Office of Professional Responsibility, and the Washington Division itself, which he now has to lead. Before taking the reins of the DEA in the capital, he established a new Task Force Against Heroin Violent Crime in the area.
After the appointment, made a few days after the board change between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, the special agent will be in charge of the DEA’s offices and mission in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.
