Patrick Kelley Named Assistant Director of the FBI’s Office of Integrity and Compliance

Director Robert S. Mueller, III has named Patrick W. Kelley as the Assistant Director of the FBI’s Office of Integrity and Compliance (OIC). In June 2007, Mr. Kelley was selected to lead the newly established OIC and tasked with developing, implementing, and overseeing a program that promotes FBI compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, rules, and policies. Mr. Kelly is the first to assume this role as Assistant Director.

Prior to joining the FBI in 1994, Patrick W. Kelley served for 21 years in the U.S. Navy as a member of the Judge Advocate General's Corps. He began his career in the Navy in 1973 as the Station Judge Advocate at Naval Air Station, Moffett Field, California. He served there until 1977 when he was transferred to Naval Base, Yokosuka, Japan, where he was a prosecutor and international law officer. In 1981, Mr. Kelley was promoted and transferred to the Naval Justice School, Newport, Rhode Island, where he served as an instructor until 1983. The Navy selected Mr. Kelley for post-graduate schooling in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and then sent him to the Office of the Judge Advocate General in Washington, D.C., to serve as the head of the Standards of Conduct and Legislation Branches. Mr. Kelley was promoted again and selected to serve as the Commanding Officer of Naval Legal Service Office, Groton, Connecticut in 1988. In 1991, Mr. Kelley was promoted to the rank of Captain (O-6) and transferred to the Pentagon where he finished his naval career as the Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate General for Administrative Law.

After retiring from the Navy in 1994, Mr. Kelley joined the FBI Office of General Counsel (OGC) as an attorney-advisor in the Administrative Law Unit. He was selected as Unit Chief of that unit in 1995. Three years later, Mr. Kelley was promoted to the Senior Executive Service. As a deputy general counsel, Mr. Kelley led the General Law and Legal Training Branch. He also served as the OGC Chief of Staff, the FBI Component Designated Agency Ethics Official, and the Senior Privacy Officer.

Mr. Kelley holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Michigan State University, a Juris Doctorate from Duke University, a Master of Law degree from the University of Pennsylvania, and a Master of Business Administration degree from George Washington University. He was given a Legion of Merit medal by the Navy in 1994 and a Meritorious Executive award by the FBI in 2003.
