The changing of the guard at the FBI goes on.
The latest shuffle has produced a new director for investigative
technologies and a chief for the Cyber Crime Section.
These appointments -- and a half dozen others announced Aug. 13 — are
the latest in a housecleaning that has led to new bosses in posts
ranging from chief of records management to chief information officer.
Thomas Richardson has been named assistant director in charge of the
Investigative Technologies Division.
An FBI agent for 27 years, Richardson moves to the technology post
from serving as acting deputy assistant director of the Criminal
Investigative Division's Financial Crimes, Integrity in
Government/Civil Rights, Operational Support and Administrative
Branch.
During his career, Richardson also has served as chief of a Middle
East terrorism unit, agent in charge of the Omaha Division and as an
agent in Washington, D.C., Chicago and Omaha.
Keith Lourdeau has been named chief of the Cyber Crime Section, part
of a new Cyber Division created this year to improve the FBI's ability
to investigate Internet and computer system crimes.
Lourdeau has worked for the FBI for 16 years. His most recent
assignment was to work with the CIA to establish greater cooperation
between it and the FBI in targeting international organized crime
groups, according to the FBI.
Mueller also announced the retirement of Dale Watson, the FBI's senior
counter-terrorism official. Watson, whose title is executive assistant
director, served in counter-terrorism and counter-intelligence posts
for 20 years.
The appointments and retirement are the latest in a long string of
ousters and appointments since Mueller took over as FBI director a
year ago amid calls for sweeping bureau reform.
