Asset Forfeiture
The U.S. Marshals Service manages a wide array of assets, including real estate, commercial businesses, cash, financial instruments, vehicles, jewelry, art, antiques, collectibles, vessels and aircraft through dismantling illegal enterprises and depriving criminals of their ill-gotten gains.
The U.S. Marshals Service plays a critical role in identifying and evaluating assets that represent the proceeds of crime as well as efficiently managing and selling assets seized and forfeited by the Department of Justice.
The Marshals manage the distribution of proceeds and payments to victims of crime and other innocent third parties, all of which helps to mitigate the financial damage inflicted by criminal activity.
Investigative Operations
As the nation's oldest federal law enforcement agency, the U.S. Marshals Service has solidified its role in the apprehension of dangerous fugitives, investigation of non-compliant sex offenders, recovery of missing children, and preservation of the criminal justice system’s integrity through its interagency fugitive task forces, international operations, information sharing programs, and close cooperation with other federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.
Fugitive apprehension is a principal U.S. Marshals Service mission and has the greatest opportunity to improve public safety by reducing the number of violent offenders in America's communities.
Judicial Security
The U.S. Marshals Service's judicial security personnel are responsible for providing a safe and secure business environment in support of the rule of law. To accomplish this, the agency must be continuously engaged in risk, threat, and vulnerability assessments.
These efforts result in tailored, intelligence-driven protection that identifies and mitigates threats and vulnerabilities before enemies to the judicial process can exploit them.
The judicial security team utilizes best practices, innovation, intelligence, and increased collaboration within and outside of the U.S. Marshals Service to improve how it keeps people and places safe every day.
