Michael H. Schneider was named assistant director of the FBI's Human Resources Division in August 2022. He had most recently served as the special agent in charge of the Denver Field Office.

Mr. Schneider joined the FBI as a special agent in 2004 and reported to the Bedford Resident Agency in New Hampshire, a satellite office of the Boston Field Office.

In 2017, Mr. Schneider was named the chief of the Counter Improvised Explosive Devices Section of the Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG) at Headquarters. CIRG provides rapid assistance during crisis incidents such as child abductions and hostage negotiations and provides investigative analysis, special weapons and tactics, and other services.

While a CIRG section chief, Mr. Schneider also served as the U.S. government’s on-scene commander for the Winter Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, leading the team that ensured the safety and security of U.S. interests before and during the games.

Mr. Schneider was promoted to deputy assistant director of CIRG in 2018, overseeing the FBI’s operational response to crises around the country and the world. He was also responsible for the Hostage Rescue Team, SWAT teams, bomb technicians, the behavioral analysis program, surveillance and aviation programs, and the program to counter unmanned aircraft systems.
