NCIS TELEVISION SERIES
Premise
NCIS is an American police procedural drama television series revolving around a fictional team of special agents of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service responding to high-visibility crimes.
NCIS is the primary federal law-enforcement agency of the United States Department of the Navy, which investigates criminal activities (e.g. deaths, force protection, treason, etc.) involving the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps and their families.
Based at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., the NCIS Major Case Response Team was led until his suspension late in season 18 by Supervisory Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, a former Marine Corps gunnery sergeant scout sniper and a skilled investigator.
Supervisory Special Agent Alden Parker, a former FBI special agent, now leads the team following his appointment early in season 19.
