Does NCIS require a background check?
Yes. As a condition of employment, applicants are required to pass an extensive NCIS employment suitability investigation during the hiring process. This investigation includes a urinalysis test for illegal drug use, credit and records checks, in-depth interviews with former and current colleagues, neighbors, friends, professors, etc., and employment and educational verifications. In addition, a personnel security investigation is required of all newly appointed special agents in order to obtain a Top Secret Security Clearance.
