Coast Guard Investigative Service
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS) is composed of civilian (GS-1811), active duty, reserve enlisted, and warrant officer Special Agents. Special Agents investigate crimes where the United States Coast Guard has an interest.
Virtually all CGIS investigators, criminal, counterintelligence, and force protection personnel are sworn civilian personnel with powers of arrest and warrant service, with the exception of a small number of reserve military personnel. All CGIS Special Agents have full arrest powers under title 14 section 95 USC.
