Federal law enforcement career ĭobyns became a Special Agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) in 1987. It's as close to being a street cop as you can be and be a fed'. And I think that's the beauty of the ATF: the ATF never fully embraced that federal stereotype of showing up with a suit and tie and a notepad and reporting to a crime scene after the fact. The ATF historically had an understanding of street work and what it's like to be a street officer or a highway patrolman. In an interview in 2006 with the Canadian journalists Julian Sher and William Marsden, Dobyns stated that he joined the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) 'because of their reputation for street work.
