Angelo Fermo,

Ret. United States Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent

Chief Investigations Advisor / Severance Investigations

Angelo Fermo is a retired United States Homeland Security, Special Agent. Angelo was a police officer prior to the Al Qaeda terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, which would change the foundation of the United States Law Enforcement system. Following the tragic event Angelo was hired by the United States Government as a Special Agent and sent to an advanced Criminal Investigator training program in Glynco, Georgia. Angelo is a graduate of the United States Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) and a graduate of the United States Customs Special Agent training program. Angelo is one of the founding members of the United States Department of Homeland Security.

Angelo’s early years of his career was working to dismantle Al Qaeda Terrorist Finance Operations based in the United States. This U.S. Treasury money laundering targeting program was known as Operation Green Quest, which was a “Follow the Monney” program to identify any money laundering operations used to funnel money from the United States to terrorist cells in the Middle East. Angelo was later selected to work for the U.S. Government High Intensity Drug Trafficking Association (HIDTA) program. In this program Angelo spent years combating, disrupting and dismantling Mexican Drug Cartels and Organized Crime Organizations. These operations consisted of U.S. Government authorized cellular phone wire taps, money laundering, long term investigations and confidential source handling.

Angelo was transferred to Mobile Alabama in 2007, as he was handpicked to work on a U.S. Government sanction Under Cover Operation that targeted Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCO) on a global scale. His successful operations in the United States, Europe, Middle East, Central and South America would be rewarded with his selection to a unit of only 21 Special Agents nationwide that would be asked to build and develop a Homeland Security Investigations Unit within the Department of Homeland Security, Custom and Border Protection’s National Targeting Center. In this role Angelo would gather intelligence and work on national security issues. Angelo’s prior background in national security would later extend his role as a liaison representative between the National Targeting Center Investigation’s and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) at Langley, VA. Angelo’s 18-month assignment to the National Targeting Center would be awarded with becoming the Homeland Security Special Agent Supervisor of the Mobile and Montgomery Offices prior to his retirement. Angelo brings over 22 years of criminal investigative and intelligence gathering experience to the Severance Investigations Mission. His knowledge and leadership are a vital role in the product delivered to each of the cases worked and conducted at Severance.
