The primary mission of the Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture Program is to employ asset forfeiture powers in a manner that enhances public safety and security. This is accomplished by removing the proceeds of crime and other assets relied upon by criminals and their associates to perpetuate their criminal activity against our society. Asset forfeiture has the power to disrupt or dismantle criminal organizations that would continue to function if we only convicted and incarcerated specific individuals.

Please see the National Sellers List which is a list of contract service providers and federal agencies who have been authorized to sell forfeited property for the USMS on a recurring basis. This list provides information on company/agency names, locations, and telephone numbers.

The District of Columbia Superior Court does not conduct the agency Asset and Seizure Programs relative to the functions of the Superior Courthouse.
