Washington, D.C. - On Wednesday, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Robert S. Mueller, III announced in a new release the appointment of Teresa L. Carlson as special agent in charge of the FBI’s Milwaukee Division. Special Agent Carlson most recently served as section chief in the Directorate of Intelligence, which is responsible for collecting, producing, and disseminating actionable intelligence that enables the FBI to identify and counter current and emerging threats.
Carlson is a 19-year veteran of the FBI. She entered on duty as a special agent and was first assigned to the Chicago Division, where she investigated violent crimes and public corruption matters. Carlson was a case agent for Operation Silver Shovel, an undercover investigation that involved bribery, drug trafficking, and organized crime activity. It resulted in more than 20 convictions, including elected officials.
She was later promoted to the Inspection Division at FBI Headquarters. Carlson then transferred to the Birmingham Division, where she served as a supervisor in the white-collar crime program.
After serving in the Birmingham Division, Carlson was appointed assistant special agent in charge (ASAC) of the white-collar crime and cyber programs in the New York Division. While in this role, she oversaw high profile investigations and subsequently was in charge of the intelligence program for the division.
She returned to FBI Headquarters after working as ASAC in the New York Division. Carlson worked in the FBI’s National Security Branch, which is responsible for national security matters, including budget matters and liaison with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Congress, and the White House.
Carlson is from Grand Rapids, Michigan and graduated from Michigan State University. Prior to her career in the FBI, she did legal research for the Michigan Legislature, according FBI Director Mueller, III.
