The FBI has recently appointed James E. Dennehy as the new Assistant Director in Charge (ADIC) of its New York Field Office. With over two decades of experience, Dennehy steps into this critical role, succeeding Michael J. Driscoll.
Dennehy’s career with the FBI began in 2002, focusing on counterintelligence cases. Over the years, he has held multiple leadership positions, including his role as Special Agent in Charge of the Newark Field Office in New Jersey. His expertise in national security and law enforcement makes him a strong choice for leading one of the FBI’s most prominent field offices.
This leadership change comes at a time when the FBI is undergoing an internal review. Employees have been instructed to disclose their involvement in investigations related to key national security events, adding an extra layer of scrutiny to the organization’s operations.
As Dennehy takes charge, his focus remains on strengthening security measures, addressing emerging threats, and ensuring the effective execution of the FBI’s mission. His leadership is expected to bring strategic improvements to the bureau’s operations in New York and beyond.
