The NCIS regularly and openly advertises its responsibility for protecting Phelan, the Chief of Naval Operations, and certain other military officials in their conduct of official duties. The federal law enforcement agency is also responsible for prominent investigations pertaining to the Navy and Marine Corps, including those related to counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and corruption.
Still, video of the incident on Monday shows notable protective security failures. The incident begins with three protesters marching onto the stage, shouting and waving a placard. Two suited individuals, apparently NCIS agents, then enter the stage and attempt to move the protesters off it. But they struggle to do so, unsupported by local event security or other law enforcement officers. At this point, a fourth protester with a flag walks behind Phelan, provoking the Secretary’s open concern. “Jim,” Phelan says, pointing behind him and seeking the attention of an NCIS agent, “Behind me.” At this point, an NCIS agent moves to bring that fourth protester off stage. A third NCIS agent is then shown to the left of the screen, shuffling the protesters off stage, but apparently only becomes involved after a significant delay.
The incident underlines a number of protective security failures.
EXCERPT
The incompetence on display is appalling.
