Peter Ostrovsky served over 31 years as a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Special Agent, targeting some of the most dangerous criminal networks operating in the United States and abroad.
In this episode of the Tier1 Podcast, Peter breaks down his career in federal law enforcement, including maritime interdiction operations involving boats, guns, and large-scale drug trafficking. He discusses investigations into drug smuggling, sex trafficking, firearms trafficking, and his time serving on an HSI tactical team executing high-risk search warrants.
Beyond operations, Peter speaks openly about the personal cost of service. As a Gold Star father, he shares the impact of losing his son, U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Jack Ostrovsky, who was killed along with eight others during a Marine Corps Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV) maritime training accident. He discusses grief, accountability, and the realities faced by Gold Star families after preventable training tragedies.
This episode offers a rare look into HSI operations, federal investigations, tactical law enforcement, and the human cost behind the badge and the uniform.
