Unlike any other venue in the local area, the NCC is a large three building complex that offers NCIS the privacy, discretion, and seclusion required for this training along with breakfast, lunch, and dinner all on one site all at the US government rate. The NCC can group the student's hotel rooms and isolate them in a specific section of the hotel away from other guests. This allows instructors to use the rooms for practical exercises late into the evening. The practical exercises will involve loud verbal exchanges, role playing physical confrontation, and the discharging of firearms using blank rounds without the concern of other guests being disturbed and becoming alarmed and calling 911.

NCC offers a large office setting with multiple private offices, large conference rooms, and multiple entry points. This is ideal for the execution of practical exercises by allowing multiple practical exercises at one time, rooms for instructors, and control rooms to monitor the various practical exercises.

NCC offers a private cocktail lounge that will be used in practical exercises.

NCC offers large secluded parking areas with wooded tree lines that will be used in outdoor practical exercises. This allows for practical exercises late into the evening and into the early morning involving local law enforcement marked patrol vehicles. The secluded large parking areas with wooded tree lines limits disturbance to other guests and nearby residences.

NCC complex offers an extensive option of training classrooms with IT support. NCC can provide a training classroom that is secluded from other training classrooms. Due to the subject matter involved in this training, limiting the public's contact and exposure to the students and guest law enforcement instructor's is vital due to the sensitive nature of the training and the student's security and safety in future law enforcement duties.

NCC offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner on site. The students will be training early in the morning and early in the morning and run for approximately eight hours followed by practical exercises and report writing that will keep them up late and into the early morning hours the next day. On site dining services allow the students to quickly eat and resume training, offering them time to regroup and prepare for the next event.

No other venue offers hotel rooms, a large office setting, a cocktail lounge, and an outdoor parking area ideal for this training without having to provide explanations detrimental to the training, disturbing other guests and nearby residences, and offers three meals a day on site.
