David Glockner

Glockner, 59, served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Northern District of Illinois, trying dozens of cases and taking on a succession of leadership roles from 1987 to 2000 before being named chief of the criminal division. In that role, Glockner oversaw more than 130 prosecutors handling cases involving financial fraud, public corruption, cybercrime, national security and violent crime. His tenure as division chief from 2000 to 2012 was among the most prolific in the Northern District’s history, helping to burnish the division’s reputation for successfully taking on multiple high-profile cases at once. His track record earned him the Director’s Award from the Executive Office for United States Attorneys for superior performance in management.
