Washington, D.C. – Director Robert S. Mueller, III, today announced that Kevin R. Brock, former Special Agent in Charge of the Cincinnati Division, will serve as Assistant Director for the Office of Intelligence.

Mr. Brock entered on duty with the FBI in August 1983, and began his career investigating homicides and assault matters on Indian reservations.
