Jim Howe served as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Coast Guard for 27 years, rising to the rank of Captain. During his time at sea he gained extensive experience in maritime law enforcement, search and rescue, and national security missions. He is the author of the Navy-Coast Guard tactical manual for drug and migrant interdiction, and his recent book, Red Crew (Naval Institute Press 2018), describes his first-hand experiences chasing smugglers and saving lives in the waters off South Florida aboard a one-of-a-kind flotilla of high-speed patrol boats.
After retiring from active duty, Howe served for two years as the senior career civil servant in the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Legislative Affairs. From 2003 to 2005, he was Special Advisor for Homeland Security in the Office of the Vice President of the United States. He interacted daily with the law enforcement professionals at a number of federal agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Border Patrol, Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Secret Service, and he made several fact-finding visits to America’s northern and southern borders. He now works in the nuclear fuel industry and is the Vice President of Government Relations at Centrus Energy Corp.
