Background

About Michael Herring

I bring 28 years of federal law enforcement experience to every investigation. Based in Philadelphia, PA, I have a proven track record of initiating, leading, and supervising complex criminal and civil investigations, demonstrating exceptional analytical skills, and proposing effective solutions to intricate problems. My career spans roles in the United States Army and various federal agencies, including the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the U.S. Immigration & Naturalization Service (INS). Throughout my journey, I have honed my skills in financial fraud investigations, workplace violence, identity theft, threat assessments, and healthcare fraud, among other areas. Recognized for my multi-tasking abilities, I excel in environments where clear communication, organization, and initiative are paramount. My contributions have been acknowledged with numerous awards, including Performance Awards from multiple agencies, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General's Integrity Award, and the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE) Award for outstanding investigative work. Additionally, I've received accolades such as the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) Recognition Award and the TIGTA Mid-Atlantic Field Division Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Year Award. Throughout my tenure with the TIGTA, I have served as the acting Special Agent in Charge (SAC) managing a team of three supervisors, 30+ indirect reports, and a substantial budget. Overseeing investigations across New Jersey and Pennsylvania, I have successfully led 100+ inquiries annually, addressing a wide array of issues including internal employee misconduct, workplace violence, financial crimes, and more. Notably, my efforts have led to the recovery of approximately $26M in restitution and forfeitures, alongside the conviction of individuals involved in fraudulent schemes, such as an investigation into sovereign citizens filing both fraudulent property deeds and IRS documents. I am seeking to utilize the skills gained during a diverse military and federal law enforcement career to further the investigative needs of an organization.
