FBI Director Names New Associate Deputy Director
and Assistant Director of Finance
Timothy P. Murphy has been named Associate
Deputy Director (ADD) of the FBI, in charge of FBI personnel,
budget, administration, and infrastructure. Mr. Murphy,
a 19-year veteran, currently serves as Assistant Director
of the FBI’s Finance
Division.
“Tim
brings a wealth of experience and demonstrated leadership
to the ADD position,” said Director Robert
S. Mueller, III. “I have the utmost confidence that
he will build on the progress in our core business functions,
with a continued focus on critical administrative matters
and strategic reform.”
Mr.
Murphy entered on duty as a special agent in September
1988. Since joining the FBI, Mr. Murphy has served in
four field offices, including Newark, Tampa, Washington
Field, and Cincinnati, in addition to four different positions
at FBI Headquarters. While in the field, Mr. Murphy managed
a variety of investigative matters, including counterterrorism,
organized crime/drugs, as a pilot in the aviation program,
and within the Special Operations, Technical Operations,
Undercover Operations and Surveillance programs. Mr. Murphy
also served as an Assistant Special Agent in Charge of
the Washington, D.C. field office, as the Special Agent
in Charge (SAC) of the FBI’s Cincinnati Division,
and as a member of the Director's SAC Advisory Committee.
At FBI Headquarters, Mr. Murphy served in several positions
including Supervisory Special Agent in the Executive Development
and Selection Program, Unit Chief of the Senior Executive
Service Unit, Unit Chief of the Director's Research Group
and Special Assistant to FBI Director Mueller. As the Director’s
Special Assistant, Mr. Murphy provided counsel to the Director
on a variety of policy, budget, and administrative matters.
He also assisted in the preparation for the Director's
events and meetings, domestic and international travel,
and ensured the resolution of day to day issues.
Mr. Murphy’s appointment follows the retirement
of Joseph L. Ford, who is retiring from the Bureau after
30 years of distinguished public service. As the FBI’s
first ADD, Mr. Ford led the establishment of a new branch
to manage FBI personnel, budget, administration, and infrastructure
as part of a broad internal realignment to better support
our organizational priorities. He served across the country
in four FBI Field Offices and at FBI Headquarters, including
in 2002, as Inspector in Charge of the Enron Task Force,
which also investigated Enron’s auditing firm, Arthur
Andersen.
“Under
his leadership as ADD, the FBI successfully established
a more mobile connectivity for the FBI workforce via
a Bureau-wide Blackberry program, implemented a web-based
time and attendance system, deployed the first phase of
the next-generation information management system (SENTINEL),
enhanced the FBI's strategic planning capabilities with
the Strategy Management System, and worked to develop new
career paths and plans to upgrade the FBI Academy ,” Mueller
said. “I would like to thank Joe for the sacrifices
he has made and for his many contributions that have framed
the FBI’s transformation and continued progress.”
During his tenure, Mr. Ford managed investigations across
a variety of criminal programs including reactive and white-collar
crime, public corruption and government program fraud,
and health care fraud. Mr. Ford led the FBI's national
investigation of Columbia/HCA Healthcare, which resulted
in numerous convictions and a record $1.6 billion criminal/civil
recovery. For his role in the investigation, he received
the Director's Award for Excellence in Investigation and
the Attorney General's Award for Exceptional Service.
Director
Mueller has also selected Richard L. Haley, II, as Assistant
Director of the FBI’s Finance Division
and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Haley, formerly the Deputy
Assistant Director of the FBI’s Finance Division,
has worked with the FBI's budget, procurement, and accounting
operations since joining the FBI in 2005. “Rich brings
an extensive professional background as a career budget
and finance officer,” said Director Mueller. “He
will provide a seamless transition to the FBI’s Finance
Division and will continue to manage the FBI’s budget,
procurement and accounting operations totaling over $6
billion.”
Mr. Haley, having previously served as the Deputy Budget
Director and Assistant Director of Budget at the Department
of Justice, was responsible for financial oversight of
the law enforcement and litigating components. Mr. Haley
also worked for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
Commerce Department, overseeing its Business Management
Fund. He began his government career as a budget examiner
at the former Immigration and Naturalization Service and
DOJ's Justice Management Division. And before that, he
served as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Army. In
2007, Mr. Haley was awarded the Director's Award for Excellence
in Management.
