Patricia Ferrick, who served as the FBI’s public corruption chief, was selected Monday to run the bureau’s Connecticut office, the Connecticut Post reports.
Ferrick, who began her career with the New York Police Department, is now in charge of about 100 agents in three offices.
Outgoing FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III made the announcement Monday.
Ferrick replaces Kimberly Mertz, who became deputy director of the bureau’s Critical Incident Response Group in Washington.
