submitted 26 years ago by Pub. L. 106-544 to r/title-34-CRIME-CONTROL-AND-LAW-ENFORCEMENT · 159 words · no verdicts yet
The Attorney General must set up permanent Fugitive Apprehension Task Forces, combining federal, state, and local law enforcement in different regions. The U.S. Marshals Service directs and coordinates these task forces to find and catch fugitives. Congress funded this from 2001 through 2012, and nothing here limits other existing fugitive-hunting laws.
(a) Setting up task forces. After consulting with relevant Justice and Treasury Department law enforcement components, the Attorney General must set up permanent Fugitive Apprehension Task Forces. These combine federal, state, and local law enforcement in designated regions, directed and coordinated by the U.S. Marshals Service, to find and catch fugitives.
(b) Funding. Congress authorized the Attorney General, for the Marshals Service, $30,000,000 for fiscal year 2001, $5,000,000 each for 2002 and 2003, and $10,000,000 each year from 2008 through 2012.
(c) Other laws unaffected. Nothing in this section limits any other existing federal or state law authority for law enforcement agencies to find or catch fugitives, whether through task forces or other means.
The Attorney General shall, upon consultation with appropriate Department of Justice and Department of the Treasury law enforcement components, establish permanent Fugitive Apprehension Task Forces consisting of Federal, State, and local law enforcement authorities in designated regions of the United States, to be directed and coordinated by the United States Marshals Service, for the purpose of locating and apprehending fugitives.
There are authorized to be appropriated to the Attorney General for the United States Marshals Service to carry out the provisions of this section $30,000,000 for the fiscal year 2001, $5,000,000 for fiscal year 2002, $5,000,000 for fiscal year 2003, and $10,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2008 through 2012.
Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit any existing authority under any other provision of Federal or State law for law enforcement agencies to locate or apprehend fugitives through task forces or any other means.
