D'Wayne Swear, a law enforcement officer in Louisiana and Mississippi whose career with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service led to a job as an adviser on the television series "NCIS: New Orleans," has died at age 60. His longtime friend Glenn Grannan of the Hancock County Sheriff's Office said Swear had recently been diagnosed with cancer. Swear was a deputy with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office in suburban New Orleans before working as an agent with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. He came out of retirement to work with the Hancock Sheriff's Office, said Grannan. "He's such a charming guy, so likeable," series star Scott Bakula said of Swear in a 2014 interview with NOLA.comThe Times-Picayune.
