AgencyMarketingStatement

The United States Marshals Service (USMS) is the nation's oldest and most versatile federal law enforcement agency. The missions of the Service include protection of the judiciary, court security, witness security, asset seizure and forfeiture, fugitive apprehension, and prisoner transportation and custody. This position is located in the USMS, Asset Forfeiture Division (AFD). AFD is instrumental in supporting the priorities and initiatives of the Department of Justice (DOJ) Asset Forfeiture Program. Asset forfeiture authority is used to remove the financial incentives from crime, depriving criminals of the cash and other assets they rely upon to facilitate their illegal activity against our society, thereby dismantling criminal organizations. AFD manages the assets seized by federal law enforcement agencies nationwide. These assets could include but are not limited to cash, financial instruments, real estate, vehicles, commercial businesses, jewelry, and aircraft. Forfeited proceeds generated from these assets are used to compensate victims, supplement funding for law enforcement initiatives, support community programs, and fund the continued operations of the Program.
