About Chad Adolph

With over 25 years of federal service, I currently serve as a Supervisory Special Agent with the U.S. Treasury Department’s IRS Criminal Investigation (IRSCI), where I lead a team of agents conducting complex financial crime investigations. I oversee both the operational and administrative aspects of the squad—evaluating and assigning cases, mentoring personnel, managing performance, and ensuring agent readiness and safety. I also build and maintain critical partnerships across federal, state, local agencies and the United States Attorney’s Office.Throughout my career, I have led and contributed to high-impact investigations involving tax fraud, money laundering, public corruption, narcotics trafficking, human smuggling, identity theft, bank fraud, investment fraud, racketeering, and terrorism financing. I’ve worked extensively in joint operations alongside law enforcement and intelligence agencies, testified in federal trials, executed numerous enforcement actions, and spent years undercover in various operations to root out corruption and infiltrating narco laundering operations—both short-term and long-term.I’ve also served as an instructor and mentor, training new agents on the job and was on detail as a use of force instructor at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. As part of the Joint Terrorism Task Force and a Counterterrorism Response Team, I contributed to the nation’s broader national security mission.Before my current supervisory role, I was assigned to the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force and currently still serve as a certified firearms, tactics, and use-of-force instructor. My work has taken me across the U.S. and abroad, earning numerous commendations, including special act awards and recognition from multiple agencies and U.S. Attorney’s Offices
