in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Navy Secretary may give Naval Criminal Investigative Service special agents the power to serve warrants and make arrests without a warrant, like Defense Criminal Investigative Service agents already have. This applies to NCIS agents who investigate crimes in Navy programs. They must follow guidelines approved by top Defense and Justice officials.

(a) Authority. The Secretary of the Navy may give certain Department of the Navy civilian employees (described in (b)) the same power that Defense Criminal Investigative Service special agents have under section 1585a: the power to execute and serve U.S. warrants and other legal papers, and to make arrests without a warrant. (b) Agents To Have Authority. This power applies to any Department of the Navy employee who is a special agent of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (or whatever agency later replaces it) whose job includes conducting, supervising, or coordinating investigations of crime in Navy programs and operations. (c) Guidelines for Exercise of Authority. Agents must use this power following guidelines the Secretary of the Navy writes and the Secretary of Defense and the Attorney General approve, plus any other guidelines those three officials issue.
