Steven Krueger

In his previous career as an FBI Special Agent, he joined the FBI in 1995 and was initially assigned to an office in New Mexico.  Over the next 20 plus years he worked as one of only a handful of qualified explosives chemists managing post-blast crime scenes around the globe.  He moved from this to implementing the Bureau’s first Chemical Counterterrorism Team within the FBI's new Weapons of Mass Destruction Division.  From there he was promoted to supervise the investigative efforts of the Bureau in southcentral and southwestern Louisiana, and then again to Little Rock, Arkansas as the Assistant Special Agent in Charge of all criminal investigations within Arkansas.  He finished his climb within the Bureau by accepting a Senior Executive Service (SES) post within the FBI, managing all the instruction conducted at the FBI Academy at Quantico, Virginia.

Since retiring as a Special Agent, he worked as an executive consultant with the Louisiana Office of the Inspector General and continued to help the FBI by working for their Security Division as a Security Specialist while also teaching Chemistry as an adjunct professor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.  Currently he works as a full- time faculty member in the Chemistry Department of ULL.

Krueger holds a Master’s degree in Inorganic Chemistry from the University of Maryland at College Park as well as a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from the State University of New York at Fredonia.
