From Police Officer to Special Agent in Charge for the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Houston Division, listen to the story of the Louisiana native's career in Law enforcement and his continued service to protect his country.

Daniel Comeaux has served across the country for the DEA and started his career in the Oakland office in California. Since then, Mr. Comeaux has had stints in D.C, and Mississippi, and now he returns to Texas to lead the Houston division, which is responsible for 118,000 Square miles- including 645 miles of the U.S.- Mexico border. Furthermore, Mr. Comeaux sets the priorities for the field offices and focuses on targeting transnational criminal organizations, violent gangs, drug trafficking, and more. In this episode we discuss his career, the ongoing fentanyl crisis, and the DEA's plans to combat drug distribution in the future. Join us for an excellent conversation with SAC Comeaux
