FBI names new agent in charge for Honolulu

Posted on Apr 14 2009

[B]HONOLULU, Hawaii[/B] (AP)—The Federal Bureau of Investigation says Charlene Thornton has been named special agent in charge of its Honolulu Division.

FBI Director Robert Mueller selected Thornton to succeed Janet L. Kamerman as head of the office that covers Hawaii, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and much of the Pacific Rim.

Thornton comes to Hawaii from the San Francisco Division, where she was also special agent in charge. She joined the FBI in 1979, and has also worked in San Diego, Phoenix and Birmingham, Ala.

The FBI announced in December that Kamerman would be assigned to Washington to become associate executive assistant director of the agency’s Human Resources Branch. She had arrived in Hawaii in 2007 after serving as a special assistant to Mueller.
