Timothy J. Healy Named SAC of
Washington Field Office’s Intelligence Division
Timothy J. Healy has been named Special Agent in Charge
(SAC) of the Intelligence Division of the FBI’s Washington
Field Office. Director Robert S. Mueller, III, appointed
him to this position, which was recently created for Washington,
New York, and Los Angeles due to the increased importance
of intelligence matters within the FBI. Most recently,
Mr. Healy served as the Assistant Special Agent in Charge
of Washington Field Office’s Intelligence Branch,
Counterterrorism Division.
Mr. Healy entered on duty as a special agent of the FBI
in 1986. Upon completion of training at the FBI Academy
in Quantico, Virginia, he was assigned to Salt Lake City,
Utah, where he investigated a variety of criminal matters
including white collar and violent crime. He was later
assigned to the Ogden, Utah, Resident Agency. During that
time, Mr. Healy investigated telemarketing fraud, bank
fraud, bank robberies, fraud by wire, murder for hire,
and murder on government reservations. In 1989 he initiated “Operation
Disconnect,” a proactive telemarketing investigation
that eventually included 15 field divisions and the successful
conviction of 402 fraudulent telemarketers. In 1995, he
was the primary undercover agent on the Montana Freeman
case, and for his work received the Attorney General’s
Award for Exceptional Service.
In 1997, Mr. Healy was promoted to FBI Headquarters, where
he managed the Telemarketing Program in the Economic Crime
Unit of the Criminal Investigative Division. In 2000 he
initiated the Internet Fraud Complaint Center and became
the center’s first unit chief. He was transferred
to the Baltimore Field Office in 2002, where as a supervisory
special agent he supervised a squad investigating child
pornography and child sexual exploitation, and later supervised
a squad investigating computer intrusions.
In 2003, Mr. Healy was ordered to stand up the new Terrorist
Screening Center (TSC). He was later promoted to serve
as TSC’s Deputy Director, and was responsible for
the Operations, Administrative, and Information Technology
Branches. In recognition of his efforts at the TSC, he
received the Directors Award for Outstanding Information
Management. In 2006, he was designated Assistant Special
Agent in Charge of Washington Field Office’s new
Intelligence Division.
Mr. Healy graduated from Benedictine University in 1979
with a Bachelor of Arts Degree. He began his career as
an officer in the United States Marine Corps, completed
Naval Flight Training, and was ordered to Marine Corps
Air Station Cherry Point, where he flew as a Harrier fighter
pilot. Mr. Healy is married and has six children.
