The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID) is an American federal law enforcement agency that investigates serious violations of military law within the United States Army.
The mission of the CID is to conduct and control all Army investigations of serious crimes, and less serious crimes upon request or as needed to enforce Army law or regulations; to provide CID services to all U.S. Army elements; to maintain full knowledge of, and overall responsibility for, Army investigations of offenses involving "controlled substances" as defined in Title 21, U.S. Code, Section 812; to plan for and provide personal security (protective service) for the United States Department of Defense (DoD), United States Department of the Army (DA), and other officials as directed; to plan and provide criminal intelligence collection and analysis; and to conduct sensitive or special interest investigations as directed by the Chief of Staff of the United States Army or higher authority.
During the course of its investigations, CID often employs special agents.
