Paul Brown has been appointed as the new Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the FBI’s Atlanta Field Office, where he will oversee all investigations and personnel in Georgia. His promotion follows his tenure as SAC of the Mobile Field Office in Alabama, where he led operations across the region.

In 2012, Brown was promoted to supervisory special agent and assigned to the Counterterrorism Division at FBI Headquarters, where he later became a unit chief overseeing U.S.-based international terrorism investigations. In 2015, he transferred to the Jacksonville Field Office in Florida, leading the North Florida JTTF.

Brown’s leadership experience includes serving as the director of the FBI’s High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group in 2019, a unit responsible for intelligence collection and research on advanced interrogation techniques. In 2020, he was promoted to deputy assistant director of the FBI’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate, where he helped lead efforts to prevent and mitigate threats involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive materials.
Prior to joining the FBI, Brown served as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Army, holding leadership roles in counterterrorism and intelligence operations. He also worked in the private sector as a business consultant at Accenture and a director of program management at Kforce Inc.
