He spent over fourteen (14) years in the Narcotics Division as an undercover officer.  For five (5) years, Byron was assigned to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as a Task Force Officer (TFO) to investigate transnational criminal organizations impacting the Southwest Border of the United States. These investigations involved drug trafficking, extortions, kidnappings, and homicides.

 

In 2009, while working in an undercover capacity, Byron and his partners were able to infiltrate a violent drug trafficking organization, posing as large-scale drug traffickers. Because of the two-year undercover operation, 28 violent gang members were removed from the community they preyed on.

 

In 2014, the City of Dallas witnessed several drug-related overdose deaths involving North Texas teens.  Byron and his partner were tasked with conducting an undercover operation to target the sources of those narcotics. Because of the investigation, Byron and his partner were nominated for the Dallas Police Officer of the Year in July 2015.

 

Byron is currently a Reserve Dallas Police Officer and remains active in investigating drug trafficking organizations at all levels. Byron is a certified law enforcement-training instructor and has presented training courses to thousands of military, federal, state, and local law enforcement officers in the United States & Canada with extremely high reviews.
