WASHINGTON — Randall C. Thysse of the FBI’s global counterintelligence section at headquarters has been named special agent in charge of the New York Office’s Counterintelligence Division.
Thysse joined the FBI in 1989 and was first stationed in the Omaha Division’s Des Moines Resident Agency.
He later went to headquarters as a supervisor in the Criminal Investigative Division’s financial institution fraud unit.
In October 2000, he was off to Salt Lake City Division’s Helena, Montana Resident Agency where he worked as a supervisor overseeing six FBI offices in western Montana, the FBI said.
Two years later, he returned to headquarters where he was a unit chief in the Counterintelligence Division’s counterespionage section. He was responsible for Cuban espionage, internal security, and unauthorized disclosures of classified material programs.
In January 2005, Thysse was promoted to the Memphis Division’s national security branch as assistant special agent in charge, the FBI said.
He returned once again to headquarters in October 2008, where he has been ever since, as section chief in the Counterintelligence Division’s global counterintelligence section.
