PRESIDENT'S MEMO

I would like to welcome you to the NCISA web site – one of the tools we utilize to maintain contact with our membership throughout the world. It is here you can find pertinent information, notification of planned events and, in the Member’s Only section, information about our members.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), composed of a relatively small group of professionals, is the Department of the Navy's primary law enforcement arm whose mission is to protect and serve the Navy and Marine Corps as a worldwide federal law enforcement organization. Those who served in the NCIS (and its predecessor organizations of Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) and Naval Investigative Service (NIS)), began in 1981 to pull together the names of former Special Agents in the form of a directory. This led to establishing a more formal ARNISSA (Association of Retired Naval Investigative Service Special Agents) in about 1983. In May 2009, the name ARNISSA was changed to NCISA to associate the name of the retired organization more closely with NCIS.

The purpose of the Association is to maintain a fraternal, social, and professional relationship among the membership. In doing so, the NCISA performs the function of helping to preserve the bonds between former NCIS personnel which were developed during our active service to the NCIS. Through various links within our site, you can learn about our history, see some of the things which are going on, and what is planned for the future. And if you are interested in joining, you can find that information here as well as a membership application.

We are always looking for ways to better our Association and welcome your thoughts. Should you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to contact me through our e-mail at ncisamail@yahoo.com.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you will find cause to come back on a regular basis.
