Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Naval Criminal Investigative Service
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) This image will give a representation of an NCIS Agent's badge. At the time of this upload, the NCIS has four (4) different badges that can be issued, of those four, only two are seen on the page (Special Agent and Operational Representative).

Badges which convey police powers should be accurately depicted as their holders usually have significant powers over regular civilians. Therefore the badges should be accurately represented in material which the public could use to verify the validity of the badge and would therefore further indicate that the badge holder is a law enforcement professional.

Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
The Naval Criminal Investigative Service does not have pictures of their badges on their official website (which would be in the public domain), they are only described in their Manual but not in much detail. It would be impossible to create the image of the badge based solely on the description in the NCIS Manual, which is "a silver badge inscribed with the word Agent".
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) I've planned on posting this image only on the NCIS article, specifically in the section addressing the ID's and badges in use with the agency.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
The owner of this photo runs a Japanese website which is selling police badges (and other products). This image is not retracting from that in any way, in my opinion.
Other information The image has been modified from the original. The original image was only used as a base, after which I enlarged it and corrected its colors and orientation.
