David Brant
Occupation law enforcement official
Known for Served as the director of NCIS from 1997 to 2005

David Brant joined NCIS in 1997, and served as its director from 1997 to 2005.[1][2]

Brant spent thirty years working in law enforcement, 28 of them at the NCIS, the last 8 years as its director.[1]

Senator John Warner, who was himself a former Secretary of the Navy, read a tribute to Brant into the Senate record, when Brant retired.[1]

The NCIS and the use of "extended interrogation" techniques at Guantanamo

A twenty page statement issued on July 7 2004 describes a series of high-level meetings among the United States Navy's most senior lawyers, that were triggered by reports, from Brant, that the captives being held in the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base were being subjected to questionable interrogation techniques.[3]

Mora's statement contained several quotations from Brant, about Brant's reluctance for the NCIS to be involved with the questionable interrogation techniques:[3]

"Director Brant emphasized that NCIS would not engage in abusive treatment even if ordered to and and did not wish to be be even indirectly associated with a facility that engaged in such practices."
