INFO ON US MARSHALS:
The U.S. Marshals Service was the first federal law enforcement agency in the United States.
 Federal marshals have served the country since 1789, often in unseen but critical ways.
 The Marshals Service occupies a uniquely central position in the federal justice system. It is the enforcement arm of the federal courts, involved in virtually every federal law enforcement initiative.
 Presidentially appointed U.S. marshals – one for each federal judicial district – direct the activities of 94 districts.
 Approximately 3,571 deputy U.S. marshals and criminal investigators form the backbone of the agency.
 The duties of the U.S. Marshals Service include protecting the federal judiciary, apprehending federal
fugitives, managing and selling seized assets acquired by criminals through illegal actiactivities, housing and transporting federal prisoners and operating the Witness Security Program.
Judicial Security
 The U.S. Marshals Service is responsible for protecting the federal judicial process.
 The agency is empowered by statute to protect federal judges, other court officials, witnesses, jurors, the visiting public, prisoners and other threatened persons.
 Criminal investigators, intelligence analysts and other Marshals personnel assess, investigate and mitigate threats against the judiciary 24/7.
 The agency oversees the daily operation and management of security services performed by
approximately 5,400 court security officers within the 94 U.S. District Courts and 12 circuits of the U.S. Court of Appeals. As the security front line, court security officers screen visitors at building entrances and handle other security duties.
Fugitive Apprehension
 The U.S. Marshals Service is the federal government’s primary agency for fugitive investigations.
 The Marshals have the broadest arrest authority among federal law enforcement agencies.
 The Marshals provide assistance to state and local agencies in locating and apprehending their most violent fugitives.
 The Marshals arrest on average 361 fugitives every day.
 U.S. Marshals task forces combine the efforts of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies to locate and arrest the most dangerous fugitives.
 Task force officers are state and local police officers who receive special deputations with the Marshals. While on a task force, these officers can exercise U.S. Marshals authorities, such as
crossing jurisdictional lines.
 The U.S. Marshals “15 Most Wanted” fugitive program draws attention to some of the country’s most dangerous and high-profile fugitives. These fugitives tend to be career criminals with histories of violence, and they pose a significant threat to public safety.
