Agent Schlatre described his background, including his educational experience with a degree in Criminal Justice, and his career beginning as a Patrol Officer with the City of Baton Rouge, Louisiana and later as a federal officer with the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement predecessor agency.
