WASHINGTON — The FBI has named Patrick James Maley, a chief inspector at headquarters, as the new special agent in charge of the Birmingham, Ala., division.  He replaces Carmen Adams.

Maley started his career in 1982 in the white collar squad in Charlotte. The following year he went to Portland where he investigated the division’s first bank failure, the FBI said.

He later went on to work in Baltimore, Louisville and headquarters, where in 2007  he was promoted to inspector of the Inspection Division, the FBI said.
