Timothy J. Healy was appointed acting director of the Terrorist Screening Center in February 2009 and director on May 5, 2009.
Mr. Healy began his career with the FBI as a special agent in 1986. After completing Quantico, his first office of assignment was Salt Lake City, where he worked a variety of criminal violations to include all types of white-collar crime and reactive work. He was later assigned to a three-man resident agency and worked telemarketing fraud, bank fraud, bank robberies, fraud by wire, murder for hire, and murder on government reservations. In 1989, he initiated Operation Disconnect, which was a proactive telemarketing investigation that eventually included 15 field divisions and culminated in the successful conviction of 402 fraudulent telemarketers. In 1995, he was awarded the Attorney General’s Award for Exceptional Service for serving as the primary undercover agent on the Montana Freemen case.
In 1997, he was promoted to the FBI Headquarters Economic Crime Unit as the telemarketing program manager. In 2000, he initiated the Internet Fraud Complaint Center and was promoted as its first unit chief. During the 9/11 crisis, he directed his staff to develop a webpage to receive online tips from the Internet, which is now used to “Submit a Tip” to the FBI. The Internet Fraud Complaint Center received the Excellent.gov Award. In 2002, he transferred to the Baltimore Field Office as a supervisory special agent, where he supervised the Innocent Images Squad and, later, a Computer Intrusion Squad. While in Baltimore, he developed a software system to track suspicious activity. It was called the Baltimore Terrorist Tracking System (BATTS), which was later adopted by FBI Headquarters and is now known as GUARDIAN.
In 2003, the FBI Director assigned him to stand up the new Terrorist Screening Center (TSC), and Mr. Healy was later promoted to deputy director of the TSC responsible for Operations, Administrative, and Information Technology Branches. For his efforts at the TSC, he received the Director’s Award for Outstanding Information Management. In 2006, he was designated assistant special agent in charge of the Washington Field Intelligence Division and was designated as the special agent in charge of the division in 2007. In 2008, he was designated deputy assistant director of Law Enforcement Targeting and Response Branch within the Directorate of Intelligence.
Mr. Healy graduated from Benedictine University in 1979 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He began his career as an officer in the United States Marine Corps, completed Naval Flight Training, and was ordered to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, where he flew AV8 Harrier Jump Jets. Mr. Healy is married and has six children.
