South Shore native is Boston’s new FBI division head
A South Shore native was named as the new special agent in charge of the FBI’s Boston division Tuesday, The Boston Globe reports.
Harold H. Shaw, 49, grew up in Weymouth and Hingham, and was previously in charge of the New York office’s intelligence division. He joined the FBI in 1999, the Globe reports, and was first assigned to the New York Division.
Shaw’s new district will include operations in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. He’s replacing FBI Boston special agent in charge Vincent Lisi, who retired September 1.
Shaw investigated terrorism cases while on the Joint Terrorism Task Force, and was one of the bureau’s first liaisons to the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center after 9/11, according to the Globe. Shaw pursued leads tied to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks for two years, the Associated Press reports, and worked to identify and located people tied to the 2012 attacks in Benghazi.
