David Brant

Last updated

"Director Brant emphasized that NCIS would not engage in abusive treatment even if ordered to and did not wish to be even indirectly associated with a facility that engaged in such practices."

In 2011 Brant provided a video testimonial in which he voiced his respect for Mora, his immediate superior, for the principled stand he took as soon as Brant told him about the abuse of the individuals being held in Guantanamo. [4] Brant said Mora didn't seem to even hesitate over whether he should a principled stand to his own superiors. Brant explicitly said he realized that Mora was putting his job on the line with his stand.

Television appearance

David Brant made a brief cameo appearance on the CBS drama NCIS playing a Special Agent of the same name in the episode "Frame Up" in Season 3. This episode aired on November 22, 2005 one month before his retirement. He is asked by the character Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) "I heard you were quitting" to which Brant responds "I like to refer to it as a lateral move into the recreational sector...Jethro" to which Gibbs explains to Mossad liaison officer Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) that it "...mostly means fishing and hitting a golf ball". [5] [6]

Post law-enforcement career

After he left NCIS Brant worked as a security expert for the accounting firms Deloitte Consulting and BDO. [7] While at those firms he was a dedicated fund-raiser for the National Law Officers Memorial Fund.

He would eventually leave consulting for accountants to become the executive director of the National Law Enforcement Museum. [7] [8]
