Richard DesLauriers, who has led the Boston FBI office since July 2010, announced he’s retiring from the bureau and taking a job in the private sector, The Boston Globe reports.
DesLauriers, who most recently led the response to the Boston Marathon bombings, will retire effective July 13 as he prepares to take a job as vice-president corporate security with Penske Group, a suburban Detroit transportation company, the Globe reported.
DesLauriers also is known for helping capture mobster James “Whitey” Bulger.
“I think it’s been a very eventful three years,” he said. “We’ve had some tremendous accomplishments.”
