Giessen Resident Agency USACIDC

The Giessen Resident Agency is a subordinate field office of the United States Army Criminal Investigation Division Command (USACIDC), commonly known as CID. Located in Giessen, Germany, the agency has historically been responsible for conducting criminal investigations involving U.S. Army personnel, property, and interests in its area of responsibility. During the Cold War and post-Cold War eras, the Giessen Resident Agency played a key role in ensuring discipline, law enforcement, and the integrity of U.S. military operations in central Germany. The unit has supported both garrison and deployed elements, collaborating closely with host nation law enforcement and other U.S. agencies to counter criminal threats and maintain good order among American forces stationed abroad.
