Event Details
Local author and reitred NCIS Special Agent, Allan Sipe, will discuss his book "NIS/NCIS San Diego". In early 1966, the U.S. Naval Investigative Service (NIS) was created from resources of the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI). Chartered to investigate major crime, fraud, and counterintelligence matters in the Department of the Navy, the NIS grew in numbers and responsibilities and became a worldwide agency. In time, the NIS became the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). This is the organization about which the popular television series, "NCIS," is based.
