The mission of the Criminal Investigations Section is to conduct investigations into criminal activities that occur on the NIH campus and the NIH section at Ft.

The investigators conduct extensive criminal investigations leading to prosecutions of serious criminal offenses.  The investigators prepare and submit timely, accurate, and concise reports.  P1010007.JPGThe members of the Criminal Investigations Section respond to crime scenes and ensure that items of an evidentiary nature are properly protected, collected and processed.  The investigators prepare the criminal cases and present them to the U.S. Attorney for the prosecution of the case in court.  Investigators work closely with other Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies.

 
Other assignments include that of dignitary protection and assisting other members in the Division of Police with their preliminary investigations. For further information on the
