About the speaker
Timothy P. Camus, Class of 1984, worked in the U.S. Department of the Treasury for 31 years, including 25 years as a special agent in the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
As a deputy inspector general for investigations, he led and supervised all aspects of the agency’s law enforcement mission.
During his career, Camus investigated domestic terrorism groups, death threats made against public officials, bribery, extortion and other aspects of internal corruption and white-collar crime involving the IRS.
Last year the nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service honored Camus for leading a multiagency investigation and public awareness campaign that dismantled an international telephone impersonation scheme — a scam in which more than 1.8 million people received threatening phone calls, purportedly from the IRS, and an estimated 10,000 Americans were conned out of more than $54 million.
In 2008, Camus was awarded the Presidential Rank Award for Meritorious Service. This past spring, he received the W.S. Jackman Award of Distinction from the Cal U Alumni Association. The honor is given to those who have gained regional, state, national or international recognition in their professions.
Camus earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration and management at Cal U. He also graduated from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Criminal Investigator Training Program and completed other law enforcement training programs before he retired.
Camus serves various leadership roles in his church such as an international mission leader, and he is also serving as the church’s finance and administration elder. He leads mission teams in the installation and maintenance of water purification systems in villages on the Yucatan peninsula.
