^- [James] The director of the Naval

00:08.841 --> 00:10.505
^Criminal Investigative Service,

00:10.505 --> 00:12.512
^Andrew Traver, was a guest speaker

00:12.512 --> 00:14.619
^at the George C. Marshall European Center

00:14.619 --> 00:16.872
^for Security Studies three-week course

00:16.872 --> 00:19.520
on countering transnational organized crime,

00:19.520 --> 00:22.692
on August 16th in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

00:22.692 --> 00:24.052
^- When I came here the first time,

00:24.052 --> 00:25.995
^I really had no idea what went on here,

00:25.995 --> 00:28.780
^and it was very eye-opening for me.

00:28.780 --> 00:31.228
So, I wanted to come back in a way where I felt I could

00:31.228 --> 00:33.764
actually contribute, and also demonstrate

00:33.764 --> 00:36.347
NCIS's commitment to countering

00:36.352 --> 00:38.329
transnational organized crime, that kinda thing.

00:38.329 --> 00:42.496
So the threat to stability on a national and a regional

00:42.528 --> 00:44.534
and even a global scale is significant.

00:44.534 --> 00:46.990
- [James] The course helps global security professionals

00:46.990 --> 00:49.468
discover ways of fighting organized crime

00:49.468 --> 00:51.459
and to network with each other.
