Which agency is NOT listed among Federal Special Investigator examples?

• A. NASA.
• B. FBI.
• C. DEA.
• D. US Marshals.

Answer: (A)

Federal Special Investigator roles are tied to agencies whose core mission is federal criminal investigations. FBI, DEA, and the U.S. Marshals Service are classic examples of agencies with agents who conduct those investigations across a broad range of crimes and enforcement areas. NASA, on the other hand, isn’t listed in that typical lineup because its primary focus is space exploration and science, not conducting general federal crimes. While NASA has an Inspector General office that handles internal investigations, that function isn’t presented in this context as part of the standard “Federal Special Investigator” examples. So NASA is the one that doesn’t fit the common list.
