K-2: What You Need to Know
Linda DeArman retiring after 44 years with the Bureau
Linda began her career at the OSBI in November 1968 when she was just 20
years old. Her first duties included transcribing investigation reports for case
agents. At some point in her career, Linda either worked in or supervised every
unit in the Information Services Division. She ended her career an
Administrative Programs Officer, supervising the Data Collection and Reporting
Section, which houses the Office of Criminal Justice Statistics (OCJS).
Linda began supervising OCJS Staff in August 2009 after our agency duties
and staff was consolidated into the OSBI. We were nervous about the move
and how it might affect the work of the unit. From the start, Linda worked to
make the transition a positive experience for everyone. She familiarized herself
with the work of the unit and offered her unique perspective for unit projects.
Thank you, Linda. Your leadership and unmatched generosity will be missed.
