He also served as lead case agent for the Oklahoma City bombing investigation in 1995.
Hosko most recently served special agent in charge of the Washington field office’s criminal division starting in 2010.
Prior to his Washington assignment, he served as deputy on-scene commander for FBI personnel supporting the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy.
In 2005, he supervised FBI personnel deployed to Afghanistan and served as deputy to the senior fellow law enforcement official following Hurricane Katrina, according to the FBI.
As assistant special agent in charge of the Philadelphia division, he led criminal investigation, the division’s surveillance and technical operations and served as program supervisor for crisis management.
In 2002, he served as deputy to the joint operations center commander during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and led the FBI in its interagency cooperation during the 2002 Washington-area sniper shootings.
