The precise duties of these sub-sections varied with time, but may be roughly summarised as follows. As a branch of military intelligence, the service maintained strict security, and paperwork was routinely destroyed. When MI7 closed, a further large-scale destruction of papers was organised. However, a large number of documents from MI7 b were preserved by an operative of that branch, Captain James Lloyd, and these were discovered after his death, when his property was being sorted and cleared in Samples of the remaining 60 or so articles can be found in "MI7b-the discovery of a lost propaganda archive from the Great War" which can be downloaded from the internet.
The name MI7 has often been used in fiction as the title for an intelligence agency or organisation similar to the actual MI5 or MI6 , with the film makers apparently unaware that the organisation actually existed. In the Bond film Dr.
No there are two explicit references to James Bond working for MI6; strangely one of these where the words are spoken by 'M' has been dubbed to "MI7", although the speaker's lips clearly say "MI6". The repeated suggestion that MI7 continues to operate in the United Kingdom with little or no supporting evidence is likely to arise from two popular misunderstandings.
Firstly, the various references to "MI7" in fiction see above , which some people have taken as fact. Secondly, many websites make explicit reference to MI7's continued operation, usually citing it as a secret Government department for investigation of the occult or supernatural.
Such websites tend to be the work either of conspiracy theorists or on-line games players who have constructed such elaborate website material that the casual viewer may not always be able to distinguish fact from fiction. Military Wiki Explore. Nooks and crannies. Semantic enigmas.
The body beautiful. Red tape, white lies. Speculative science. This sceptred isle. Root of all evil. Ethical conundrums. This sporting life. Stage and screen. Birds and the bees. But I'm not sure which one is which. I also think that some of the other numbers may have been active in intelligence and of the like during the world wars. Conspiracy theorists will have you believe that there is still a clandestine MI7 dealing with matters extraterrestrial.
Interestingly, that makes James Bond a member of MI6. Crudely, MI6 are "our" spies while MI5 is there to catch "their" spies. It gets a little more complicated in that MI6 has its own "counter-intelligence" section. The former is responsible to the Home Office and the latter to the Foreign Office. John Burnes, Manchester Lancashire MI5 investigates matters of national security in the UK investigates terrorists, counterinsurgency, etc.
Equivalent to the US's CIA Central Intelligence Agency NCIS national criminal investigation squad are top ranking police officers dealing with high profile crimes, and have little to do with intelligence, though often co-operate with intelligence agencies for practical reasons.
Equivalent to FBI. NCIS is the National Criminal Intelligence Service, and far from being merely "top ranking police officers dealing with high profile crimes" it busies itself with identifying new criminal trends, acting as a clearing house for information from police forces around the UK, and liaising with Interpol, Europol, and various intelligence service around the world. One of the principal techniques MI9 used was to mail contraband to prisoners hidden in Red Cross care parcels.
German money was hidden inside a Monopoly board, and decks of playing cards were sent containing military-grade maps of Germany. See M. As mentioned above, MI-9 was the escape and evasion apparat. Foot has apparently also written a book on that entity. John C. Watson, Amherst, MA U. They're all coming to get me They kept the same numbers when Military Intelligence was formed.
I think that MI7 dealt with censorship. The author says that the whole series has now been replaced anyway. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the US Intelligence services and is simply the "Federal Bureau of Investigation". The FBI is a national and federally empowered police force - to investigate crime. They do NOT collect clandestine intelligence or have anything to do with the military. GCHQ collaborates with all the British intelligence services on a daily basis, both cross-checking information or providing useful intelligence for the MI community.
GCHQ regularly recruit analysts, and have large teams who can understand and verify whether information is up to date, or translate documents and coded messages. GCHQ are experts on things like terrorist groups, and can almost immediately decide whether a groups' claim to an attack is genuine. John, London At which time we the british empire have been called upon to defend itself, its allies and dependancies it became nessacery to form a number of departments and agencies.
Over the years these dapartments have served a number of different roles and purposes. It is important to also remember that most of these where small departments and at the end of world war 2 they were mostly all merged into MI5, MI6, GCHQ and other agencies.
Captain S. I am watching a movie call MI Excellent intelligence movie of our brothers over the Atlantic. NCIS is a team of federal law enforcement professionals dedicated to protecting the people, family, and assets of the US Navy and the Marine Corps worldwide.
Thanks for the info. Having lived and studied in Amherst, I'm wondering how you can possess such a deep and correct knowledge of matters military while in 'the valley', an area not exactly conducive, but rather hostile, to that region of scholarship. Hats off to you. We do not have an agency called the National Criminal Investigative Service, because we have many federal agencies that investigate crimes nationally. Postal Inspectors, and U.
Marshal's Service. Immigration and Customs Enforcement , U. Coast Guard, and U. Secret Service. Finally, all federal agencies have Offices of Inspectors General OIG who have special agents with law enforcement responsibility and authority to investigate fraud, waste, and abuse within and against each agency. Law enforcement in the United States is very fragmented.
There are many federal law enforcement agencies, each state has various investigative agencies the number depends on the individual states , and of course every town and city has local police agencies. Every county in the U. Even many public school districts now have their own independent police departments and most colleges and universities of any size now have their own police departments. Altogether there are approximately , full-time law enforcement officers in the United States.
Price, Arlington, Texas No wonder conspiracy theories etc abound - I simply went to the source www. I never really understood the expression 'get a life' but now browsing the responces to this query, it has relevance.
MI5, the Security Service, is the UK's security intelligence agency responsible for protecting the UK, its interests and citizens against major threats to national security. Security threats to British interests anywhere in the world fall within the scope of our functions as set out in the Security Service Act
