JONATHAN
SOLOMON RETURNS AS SPECIAL AGENT IN CHARGE
OF THE FBI'S MIAMI DIVISION
Jonathan
I. Solomon has returned to the position of Special Agent
in Charge (SAC) of the FBI's Miami, Florida Division. Mr.
Solomon, a 22-year FBI veteran, was serving as the Executive
Assistant Director for the FBI's Administrative Service
Division.
Mr.
Solomon was initially appointed as SAC Miami in March 2004,
before being called back to Headquarters to serve as EAD
for Administration in May 2004. Over the past year and a
half, he has led the men and women of the Administrative
branch and made tremendous progress in a number of important
areas. To identify just a few: the FBI achieved unprecedented
hiring levels and met ambitious hiring goals for Intelligence
Analysts. During his tenure, the FBI instituted significant
reforms to our career development program, including the
establishment of a new Special Agent career path. In addition,
he began transforming the Administrative Services Division
into two more specialized divisions --- one for Human Resources,
the other for Facilities and Logistics Services --- to enable
the FBI to better meet significant challenges in those critical
areas. We also enhanced our personnel security and information
assurance programs, and saw the Bureau through a period
of historic budget increases. Mr. Solomon was instrumental
in improving communication between Headquarters and the
field by serving as the principal point of contact for the
FBI Director's Advisory Committees and the FBI Agents Association,
and led the FBI's initial response to the devastation caused
by Hurricane Katrina.
Director Mueller said, "Jon has a record of achievement
in addressing the most pressing administrative issues. I
am grateful for his contributions and the Miami Division
will benefit from his experience and leadership."
Mr. Solomon joined the FBI in September 1983. He served
in the Kansas City, Philadelphia, Buffalo, and Tampa field
offices, and has handled a variety of criminal matters including
organized and white collar crime. He has also worked extensively
on administrative matters including hiring, personnel performance,
and inspections. In April 2002, he was appointed Special
Assistant to the EAD Administration. He served as Special
Assistant to the FBI Director from January 2003 through
February 2004.
