CONCORD, N.H. – Aug. 10, 2009
– On September 23, the Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire will host
a luncheon event with Special Agent in Charge Warren Bamford of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation’s Boston field office. Bamford is the FBI’s top law enforcement
official in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Maine.
The event, titled
“Money, Murder and the Mob: How Crime Impacts Your Bottom Line,” will be held September

the day of the event begins at 11:30 a.m.
Bamford, who leads a team of professionals
assigned to fighting domestic and international terrorism, as well as criminal matters
throughout New England, will speak about issues of concern to the business and law
enforcement communities, including domestic terrorism, organized crime and white
collar crime.
A 22-year veteran of the FBI, Bamford began serving as special agent
in charge of the Boston field office in 2007. Throughout his career, Bamford served
in the Washington, D.C., New Haven and Baltimore field offices where he worked extensively
in the violent crime program. He was an assistant section chief of the Domestic
Terrorism Operations Section and an assistant special agent in charge in the FBI’s

bomb data center, hazardous devices response and rapid deployment programs.
As section
chief of the Strategic Information and Operations Center at FBI headquarters, Bamford
helped manage crisis and special events by ensuring the timely and effective flow
of operational information between field offices, executives, substantive units
and other government agencies. Before reporting to Boston, he served as special
agent in charge of the Los Angeles field office’s Counterterrorism and Intelligence
Division. In this role, he oversaw about 450 investigative and analytical personnel,
