Our on-air segment profiles the Marshals Service's most wanted criminals in an effort to obtain the public's awareness and assistance.
The Marshals Service is the nation’s oldest and most versatile federal law enforcement agency. Since 1789, federal marshals have served the nation through a variety of vital law enforcement activities. Ninety-four U.S. marshals, appointed by the president or the U.S. attorney general, direct the activities of 94 district offices and personnel stationed at more than 350 locations throughout the 50 states, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Each district, and the District of Columbia Superior Court, is headed by a U.S. marshal. The Marshals Service’s headquarters are located in the Washington, D.C. area.
The Marshals Service occupies a uniquely central position in the federal justice system. It is involved in virtually every federal law enforcement initiative.
