He subsequently served on the President's National Security Council as the senior intelligence official implementing the President's strategy on Transnational Organized Crime within the intelligence and law enforcement communities.

Glawe was a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a Supervisory Special Agent in the Counterterrorism Division. Earlier law enforcement positions include serving as a Federal Agent with the United States Postal Inspection Service and a Police Officer in Houston, Texas, and Aurora, Colorado.

"I'm honored to lead the organization through the next phase of development as we combat insurance fraud and theft and look forward to engaging with all our members, strategic partners, law enforcement, regulators, and consumers," said David Glawe.

"Glawe has a proven track record of working with the public and law enforcement community at the highest level, and his knowledge and relationships will help position NICB for the future," added Capuzzi.
