US Marshals Services

The U.S. Marshals Service is the nation's oldest federal law enforcement agency, established in 1789. Its mission is to enforce federal laws and provide comprehensive support to the federal justice system. The agency's core duties include ensuring the security of federal court facilities, protecting judges and court personnel, and apprehending federal fugitives.

The Service is also responsible for the custody, security, and transportation of federal prisoners, as well as executing federal court orders.

The U.S. Marshals Service operates the Witness Security Program, safeguarding endangered government witnesses and their families. Additionally, the agency conducts investigative operations, focusing on the apprehension of dangerous fugitives, investigation of non-compliant sex offenders, and recovery of missing children. Its values include Justice, Integrity, Service, Unity, Empowerment, and Inclusiveness.
