(a) During the conduct of investigations, MPI will identify themselves by presenting their credentials and referring to themselves as ``INVESTIGATOR.'' When signing military police records the title ``Military Police Investigator'' may be used in lieu of military titles. Civilian personnel will refer to themselves as ``INVESTIGATOR'' if they are classified in the 1811 series, and as ``DETECTIVE'' if they are in the 083 series. Civilian personnel will use the title ``DAC Investigator'' or ``DAC Detective''; corresponding to their classification series.
(b) The use of titles such as ``Mr.'', ``Mrs.'', ``Miss'' or ``Ms.'' in connection with an individual's identification as an MPI is prohibited, except when employed in a covert investigative role. When MPI or DAC detectives/investigators are employed in covert roles, supervisors will ensure that coordination with USACIDC or civilian law enforcement agencies is accomplished as appropriate.
