NCIS, Tech nonsense
@Jo assuming they've got the laptop this actually makes sense
if a computer's turned off everything can be fully encrypted and if it's done properly you're not getting anything
if the computer's running when you get to it at least some of it has to be unencrypted and in RAM, hopefully including the bits you want
also a lot of disk encryption implementations only ask for a password on boot, so if you keep it running you don't have to deal with that

@troubleMoney Probably makes sense if was anything other than a standard issue NCIS device back in the hands of the agency.
