Special Investigations is the unit that handles weird or usual crimes. That includes those issues of sensitive political nature. Most of the department might resent the SIS if not for the fact that when something that requires them is not happening they act as ad hoc detectives for any department.
The Special Investigations Squad is something different. This is Bureau 13 team permanently assigned and embedded as a unit of a local police department. In 1994, the bureau tapped two semi retired Agents to move to Vista City and form the nucleus of a team with a more stationary base and a cover that would in theory permit B13 activities to be covered.
Steven Ashby, former Astronaut and Cyborg became the leader of the SIS. His wife remained adamantly retired, although she remained active in a supporting role. Since then they have re-retired. Angelo Mancuso, an extremely talented Homicide detective took over the reigns Until his activities became too out of cover. Tony McKenzie currently runs the SIS.
