 Purpose
The Naval Criminal Investigative Service
exists for one reason: to prevent and solve crimes that threaten
the warfighting capability of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.
NCIS performs a broad and expanding set
of services for the Department of the Navy, for example:
- Today Navy ships cannot enter a port
unless NCIS has completed an on-the-ground threat assessment
and vulnerability assessment.
- NCIS agents were the first U.S. law enforcement
personnel on the scene at the Cole bombing... the Limburg
bombing... and the terrorist attack in Mombasa, Kenya.
- NCIS' Cold Case unit has solved 44 homicides
since 1995—one of which was 33 years old.
- NCIS has conducted fraud investigations
resulting in over half a billion dollars in recoveries and
restitution to the U.S. Government and the U.S. Navy since
1997.
- NCIS investigates any death occurring
on a Navy vessel or Navy/Marine Corps aircraft or installation
(except when the cause of death is medically attributable
to disease or natural causes).
- NCIS oversees the Master-At-Arms programs
for the Navy, overseeing 8800 Masters-At-Arms and the Working
Dog program.
NCIS' three strategic priorities are to:
Prevent
Terrorism,
Protect Secrets,
and
Reduce Crime.
