j. Protective Service Operations. CGIS is responsible for oversight of the Coast Guard's Protective

Services Program and conducting Protective Service Operations (PSO) in support of the

Commandant, Vice Commandant, and any other foreign or domestic dignitaries as requested or

directed. Commanding Officers must immediately notify CGIS upon receipt of any request from

the U.S. Secret Service, U.S. State Department, or any other federal, state or local law

enforcement agency for Protective Service Operation (PSO) support from the Coast Guard.

CGIS routinely conducts direct liaison with other federal, state, local, and foreign law

enforcement agencies in the conduct of Protective Services in addition to providing PSO support,

and has established procedures for conducting threat assessments, coordinating the use of Coast

Guard resources in the conduct of a PSO, and ensuring that requests do not jeopardize ongoing

Coast Guard operations.

k. Information of Significant Interest to Law Enforcement. As the primary criminal investigative

arm of the Coast Guard, CGIS is responsible for direct liaison with other federal, state, and local

law enforcement agencies in areas of mutual criminal investigative interest. CGIS has liaison

procedures in place for matters of mutual interest with other federal law enforcement agencies,

such as the Federal Bureau of Investigations, U.S. Customs Service, Drug Enforcement

Administration, U.S. Secret Service, Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Naval Criminal

Investigative Service, Army Criminal Investigations Division, and the Office of Inspector

General, Department of Transportation. Possible criminal or other related activities as well as

information concerning actual or alleged threats directed at foreign or domestic dignitaries or

citizens, must be immediately reported to CGIS for action and/or referral to the appropriate

federal, state or local law enforcement agency.

9. Use of Command Investigators.

a. Use of command investigators for criminal investigations or inquiries in accordance with

reference (d) must be limited to minor non-felony UCMJ offenses or when CGIS has declined to

conduct an investigation. CGIS may from time to time provide investigative assistance upon

request in support of a command-conducted investigation. CGIS assistance in support of a

command-conducted investigation shall be determined by the appropriate CGIS Regional Special

Agent-in-Charge (SAC) based on the needs of the Service, seriousness of the incident under

investigation, and availability of CGIS investigative resources.

b. If, during the course of a command-conducted investigation, evidence or information is

developed indicating serious violations beyond that under investigation, CGIS must be notified

without delay.

base police, security or guard forces, or shore patrol. Use of these forces for criminal

investigations must be limited to minor (non-felony) UCMJ offenses involving Coast Guard
