Veterans Day allow us to hon-
or and celebrate those who’ve
stood guard to protect their fellow
Americans. At the FBI’s Portland
Office, that list includes Supervi-
sory Special Agent Denise Biehn.
Biehn is what the FBI calls
an “Unexpected Agent.” Early in
life growing up in Oregon, she
had her eye on medicine – not
the law. She earned her Bache-
lor of Science in Nursing from
OHSU. With that degree in hand,
she joined the U.S. Army and
served four years active duty and
continued as a reservist until her
honorable discharge as a Major.
Her deployments included time
in Bosnia and Herzegovina as part
of Operation Joint Endeavor, a
multi-national peacekeeping force.
Following her active duty time
she earned her law degree from
Saint Louis University in Missouri.
After graduation, she served as a
law clerk for a U.S. District Judge
in Arkansas and later earned a po-
sition as a prosecutor in the U.S.
Department of Justice.
In the days that followed 9/11,
she had the chance to work with
FBI agents investigating the ter-
rorist attacks and decided that she,
too, wanted to be on the front lines
of making our community safer.
“I love my job, and the best days
are the days when I know that I
really made a difference in some-
one’s life,” she says.
Over the course of her FBI ca-
reer, Biehn has been stationed in
Boston; San Francisco; Washing-
ton, D.C.; and, now, back home
in Oregon. In addition, her work
has given her the chance to travel
throughout the U.S. and the world
working all kinds of violent crime,
fugitive, corruption and fraud cas-
es. She also teaches about topics
such as crime scene management
and investigative techniques to
both foreign and local law enforce-
ment partners.
Currently, Biehn supervises
investigators who work violent
crimes, and she also leads the FBI’s
Child Exploitation Task Force.
For anyone interested in learn-
ing more about employment with
the FBI, you can register for a lo-
cal recruiting event scheduled for
Thursday, Nov. 29. Email portlan-
dapplicants@FBI.gov by Nov. 15
to sign up. Also, you can check out
the FBI’s recruiting page FBIjobs.
