Wikipedia上的NCIS簡介 - 重返犯罪現場

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) is the United States
Department of the Navy's primary law enforcement agency and successor
to the former Naval Investigative Service.

海軍犯罪調查處（NCIS）承繼自前海軍調查處（NIS），是美國海軍部主要的執法
部門。


NCIS was originally part of the Office of Naval Intelligence, being
tasked with detection and counterintelligence missions. Later, cri-
minal investigations were also added to the agency's mission, with
these tasks being performed mainly by civilian agents--as is also
the case with the U.S. Coast Guard's Investigative Service (CGIS)
and the DOD's Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS).

This differs from the practice of the Army's Criminal Investigatio-
ns Division (USACIDC) and the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Inv-
estigations, each of which relies primarily upon military personnel
to conduct investigations.

NCIS原本是海軍情報局的一部，主責偵察與反情報，後來其任務加入犯罪調查工
作，主要由平民探員負責執行。這和美國海岸防衛隊調查處及國防部國防犯罪調
查處是相同的，而美國陸軍犯罪調查局及美國空軍特別調查局仍仰賴軍方人員。


During the 1970s, NIS civilian agents gained civil service status
and the agency separated from ONI, becoming an Echelon II command
directly accountable to the Chief of Naval Operations. In Cathal F-
lynn, a former Naval Special Warfare Command officer, became the f-
irst flag rank officer to command NIS. During this time NIS also a-
ssumed command of the anti-terrorist intelligence mission for the
Navy, opening the Navy Anti-terrorist Alert Center (ATAC).

1970年代，NIS平民探員以平民雇員的身份從海軍情報局分離，成為向海軍軍令部
長負責的第二級機構，Cathal Flynn是首位NIS的將軍級指揮官。同一時間，NIS
開始承擔起海軍的反恐怖情報任務，並且成立海軍反恐警戒中心（ATAC）。


On 19 April 1989, an explosion aboard the battleship USS Iowa ripp-
ed through her Number Two 16-inch gun turret, killing 47 crewmen.
The NIS Investigators at first theorized that a crewman had detona-
ted an explosive device in the turret due to the end of a homosexu-
al affair with another sailor, who survived. This theory was later
abandoned, and the cause of the explosion is generally believed to
have been static electricity igniting loose powder.

1989年4月19日，美國海軍愛荷華號戰艦的十六吋砲塔發生爆炸，造成四十七名船
員殉職。NIS幹員起初推論這是因為有名水手攜帶爆炸裝置進入砲塔，準備結束他
和另外一名生還船員間的同性戀情。但此推論很快被廢棄，一般認為，這次爆炸
係因靜電誘發火藥造成。


In 1992 the NIS mission was again clarified and became a mostly ci-
vilian agency. Roy D. Nedrow, a former United States Secret Servic-
e (USSS) executive, became the first civilian director of the newl-
y renamed NCIS. Virtually all NCIS investigators, criminal, counte-
rintelligence, and force protection personnel are now sworn civili-
an personnel with powers of arrest and warrant service. The except-
ion are a small number of reserve military elements engaged in cou-
nterintelligence support.

1992年，NIS再度明確定義其任務，並且成為完全的平民機構。前美國密勤局官員
Roy D. Nedrow成為更名NCIS的首任平民處長。實際上，所有NCIS的調查員都由平
民宣誓就任，在犯罪、反情報與軍事人員保護上被賦予逮捕及搜查的權限，例外
則是提供反情報支援的部分後備軍人。


Current missions for NCIS include criminal investigations, security
clearance background checks, force protection, cross-border drug e-
nforcement, anti-terrorism, counter-terrorism, major procurement f-
raud, computer crime and counterintelligence.

目前NCIS的任務包括反最調查、安全背景查核、保護軍隊、跨界麻藥搜捕、反恐
怖、詐欺調查、電腦犯罪及反情報工作。


In 2003, a television show (NCIS) was started on CBS based on the NCIS.

2003年，CBS開始上映以NCIS作為背景的影集。
