Givens is a retired United States Air Force Brigadier General (Special Agent) who served as the 17th Commander of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI), Quantico, Virginia. As the AFOSI Commander, Givens oversaw AFOSI's worldwide network of over 2,000 military and civilian special agents and over 500 unsworn members stationed at major Air Force installations and a variety of worldwide special operating locations.[2] EducationGivens is a distinguished graduate of the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps at the Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania. He holds a Master of Science from Chapman University, a Master of Forensic Sciences from the George Washington University, a Master of Aerospace and Leadership Studies from the Air Command and Staff College, and a Master of National Security Studies from the National War College.[3] Military careerGivens entered the United States Air Force in May 1986. He spent the majority of his career as a special agent of the AFOSI where he conducted and supervised felony-level criminal, fraud, and counterintelligence investigations and operations. He commanded at the detachment, squadron and wing levels. His assignments included four overseas postings. Prior to his last assignment as Commander of AFOSI, Givens served as the Director, Special Investigation, Office of the Inspector General, Office of the Secretary of the Air Force, Washington, D.C. He led the directorate in developing and implementing all Air Force-level plans and policies concerning criminal investigations and counterintelligence operations.[4] AFOSI appointmentGivens officially took command and became the 17th Commander of AFOSI during a change of command ceremony held at Quantico, VA, on May 7, 2014. Givens received the AFOSI guidon from Lieutenant General Stephen P. Mueller, Inspector General of the Air Force, which officially denoted the departure of Brigadier General Kevin J. Jacobsen as outgoing AFOSI Commander.[5] Addressing AFOSI personnel for the first time as their commander, Givens thanked LTG Mueller for entrusting him. "I consider this a distinct honor," he remarked. "Being a general is not about the rank. It's about what I can do for AFOSI and its people. The five points on these stars also remind me of the five most important people in my life," Givens said.[5] The change of command ceremony was attended by approximately 300 people represented by AFOSI Special Agents, DoD employees and members of the Givens' and Jacobsen families.[5] Assignments
