Mr. Dolan served as the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Attaché (and previously the Deputy CBP Attaché) at the US Mission to the EU in Brussels, Belgium, from 2007-2013.  Mr. Dolan began his government career with the U.S. Customs Service in the Port of Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas in 1992.  He transferred to Washington, D.C. in 2002, at the time when several agencies were merged within CBP in the newly created U.S. Department of Homeland Security.  His initial CBP Headquarters assignments included development and delivery of formalized training courses, as well as authoring national policy and agency-wide guidelines for the Office of Field Operations.
