Spy-catcher Stephanie Douglas to head local FBI

SFGate
The FBI has named a counterintelligence specialist with a record of capturing spies and pursuing corporate criminals and drug dealers to head its San Francisco office. Stephanie Douglas, who for the past year has been deputy assistant director for operations support in the FBI's counterintelligence division, will be special agent in charge of the San Francisco division, the FBI announced Monday.
The San Francisco division includes much of coastal Northern and Central California, including the Bay Area - excepting Solano County. The division is based in San Francisco, with offices in Concord, Eureka, Hayward, Monterey, Oakland, Palo Alto, San Jose, San Rafael and Santa Rosa.
Douglas has been with the FBI since 1989 and was acting special agent in charge of the San Francisco division for two months in late 2006. During that time, she oversaw investigations, including a crackdown on drug traffickers in north Richmond that resulted in seven arrests and an investigation that led to the conviction of a Walnut Creek chief executive officer for defrauding investors out of $1.5 million.
