NCIS

As of now, my favorite series on tv is NCIS starring Mark Harmon as agent Jethro Gibbs..

The series is based about NCIS agents investigating about crimes such as homicide kidnapping etc that concerns the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps world wide.

NCIS (promoted as Navy NCIS in season one), aka Navy NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service or NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service, is an American police procedural television series revolving around a fictional team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, which conducts criminal investigations involving the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. The concept and characters were initially introduced in a two-part episode of the CBS series JAG (episodes 8.20 and 8.21). The show, a spin-off from JAG, premiered on September 23, 2003 on CBS and, to date, has aired five full seasons. Donald Bellisario, who created JAG, as well as the well-known series Magnum P.I. and Quantum Leap, executive produces NCIS. NCIS was originally referred to as “Navy NCIS”. However "Navy" was later dropped, as it was redundant. NCIS returned for its sixth season on September 23, 2008 in the US, and in the UK, Friday January 9, 2009 on Five, showing season 5.

I like the series because of how the actors and actresses portrayed their characters. To name some of them my favorite is Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), a forensic and evidence specialist, is a goth girl and I pretty much like the way she dresses..

Other than that Ziva David (Cote de Pablo), was a Mossad liaison officer and was later added to the team when Kate Todd was killed by her half-brother Ari .

Try to watch the series in Usa network, Ion or Sleuth and I do hope that you would enjoy it as much as me, My mum and Mspinkbiik did...

Let's talk about the real deal...

NCIS also known as Naval Criminal Investigative Service

Is a team of Federal Law Enforcement professionals dedicated to protecting the people, families, and assets of the US Navy and the Marine Corps world wide.

NCIS is all about...

In a dangerous and complex world, threats against America and its military forces continue to proliferate and evolve.

Standing between these threats and the people, families, and assets of the Navy and Marine Corps is a unique, highly-trained, and effective team of special agents, investigators, forensic experts, security specialists, analysts, and support personnel: NCIS, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

NCIS is the primary law enforcement and counterintelligence arm of the United States Department of the Navy. It works closely with other local, state, federal, and foreign agencies to counter and investigate the most serious crimes: terrorism, espionage, computer intrusion, homicide, rape, child abuse, arson, procurement fraud, and more.

NCIS is the Navy's primary source of security for the men, women, ships, planes, and resources of America's seagoing expeditionary forces worldwide.

NCIS' three strategic priorities are to:

1. Prevent Terrorism:

The Combating Terrorism Directorate directs NCIS support for efforts aimed at detecting, deterring, and disrupting terrorism against Department of Navy personnel and assets worldwide.

The Combating Terrorism Directorate brings a wide array of offensive and defensive capabilities to the mission of combating terrorism.

Offensively, from the counterterrorism side, NCIS conducts investigations and operations aimed at interdicting terrorist activities.

Defensively, from the antiterrorism side, NCIS supports key Department of Navy leaders with protective services and performs vulnerability assessments of military installations and related facilities—including ports, airfields, and exercise areas to which naval expeditionary forces deploy.

2. Protect Secrets

Presidential Executive Order 12333 defines counterintelligence as "information gathered and activities conducted to protect against espionage, other intelligence activities, sabotage or assassinations conducted for or on behalf of foreign powers, organizations or persons or international terrorist activities."

Within the Department of the Navy, NCIS has exclusive investigative jurisdiction in non-combat matters involving actual, potential or suspected terrorism, sabotage, espionage, and subversive activities.

Presidential Executive Orders 12958, 12968 and 12829 define national security information and establish the NCIS mission in safeguarding classified information, vetting personnel for trustworthiness and protecting classified information within industry.

COUNTERINTELLIGENCE

Foreign Intelligence

NCIS works to neutralize foreign intelligence service and foreign commercial activity which seek information about critical naval programs and research, development, test and evaluation facilities.

In this era of global economic competition, the protection of military technology remains critical to preserving the United States' technological superiority on the battlefield as well as our economic well being at home. To prevent the compromise of military technology, NCIS established its Systems and Technology Protection Program which works to minimize the loss of vital defense technology.

Surveillance

To detect and counter electronic eavesdropping, NCIS Technical Surveillance Countermeasures personnel conduct "sweeps" at sensitive facilities.

SECURITY

Security Policies

NCIS establishes and implements Department of the Navy (DoN) information, personnel and industrial security policies to prevent classified information from unauthorized disclosure.

DON CAF

The Department of the Navy Central Adjudication Facility (DoN CAF) is also under the NCIS umbrella of responsibility. The DoN CAF renders security eligibility determinations on approximately 200,000 DoN military and civilian members worldwide annually. Adjudication is the ultimate step in determining an individual's trustworthiness for access to classified information.

3. and to Reduce Crimes

NCIS is the Department of the Navy's primary law enforcement arm. NCIS investigates all major criminal offenses (felonies)—those crimes punishable under the Code of Military Justice by confinement of more than one year—within the Department of the Navy.

The primary categories in the reduce crime mission include Felony Criminal Investigations, Law Enforcement, and Investigative Support.

Felony Criminal Investigations

Narcotics Suppression Operations Crimes Against Persons Cold Case Squad Procurement Fraud Family and Sexual Violence Program Property Crimes

Law Enforcement
