The Deputy US Marshals Out of the 65 federal law enforcement agencies in the United States, none are older or have the broad arresting power of the United States Marshals. The U.S. Marshals have a mission that states “the mission of the U.S. Marshals Service is to enforce federal laws and provide support to virtually all elements of federal justice system through multiple disciplines.” (Rateshtari, Home). This leaves Deputy U.S. Marshals with the responsibility of judicial security, custody of prisoners, fugitive investigations, tactical operations, witness security, and asset forfeiture. In total this accumulates into “94 districts — one for each federal judicial district. More than 3,752 Deputy Marshals and Criminal Investigators form …show more content…
Marshal, let us discuss the potential growth and salary of this profession. When it comes to the growth and salary of the Deputy U.S. Marshal it follows very closely to the GL Pay Scale, which as you increase in rank on the pay scale your pay will increase as well. There are other factors that influence pay such as where you live and over time, also since a Deputy U.S. Marshal is a federal law enforcement criminal investigator they are entitled to LEAP. LEAP, or law enforcement availability pay, is a twenty-five percent base pay bonus given to the individual to help compensate for the number of unscheduled hours that they are required to work. Furthermore, the higher your rank grows and the longer you are in the U.S. Marshals you can apply for supervisory positions which then allows you to access a higher pay scale.
Dangers and Risk When it comes to the dangers and risks of the job of Deputy U.S. Marshal they are on par with that of normal police officers and other law enforcement officials. That is they deal with potentially dangerous subjects that could bring harm to the Deputy U.S. Marshal or death. Along with this they also deal with many detrimental mental health issues. This is due to the fact that they deal with subjects that commit heinous acts and have to come face to face with these acts.
Ethical and Practical

Marshal we will first discuss three of the main ethical challenges. These ethical challenges are that of acting impartially, use of force regulation, and abuse of authority. When it comes to all law enforcement agencies the concept of acting impartially is one that should always be present. This concept can become challenging when you are dealing with serious offenders who at face value should are guilty and should be treated as such. But, under the law, you need to act a certain way and follow specific procedures so that to ensure that proper court proceedings can occur. This ties into the next ethical challenge which is the use of force regulation. In the same vain one could easily be driven to use more force than necessary when dealing with someone who has committed a heinous act, ie. child molestation, but in order to be impartial when it comes to evidence and to ensure that individual rights do not become infringe a Deputy must act accordingly and appropriately to all situations. Finally, the ethical challenge of abuse of power can encompass both of the previous ethical challenges. Since the U.S. Marshal has the broadest arresting power of all federal agencies it could be easy to overstep boundaries with citizens and abuse the arrest
If the sheriff has personal involvement or interest in his official duties, is absent, mentally or physically disabled as to where he can’t complete his duties, then the coroner executes the duties of the when the sheriff. This allows the coroner to be able to arrest people who commit an offense within his sight and arrest them until the crime has been investigated, perform all of the procedures he is supposed to by legal authority, take photographs, fingerprints, and other identification data from the felonies or misdemeanors he takes into custody. The coroner must run the jail and protect the inmates. The county coroner may also have to act as deputy to the Sheriff of the Supreme Court.
Based on the reasoning of the caliber of Officer Steele’s moral standards as applied to his civic duties, administration could have prevented this situation by not hiring someone possessing traits that might indicate such unethical behavior. Steele should have been held accountable by the department’s administration for withholding information from the prosecutor regarding the detainment of R.M. while in detention. The lack of team- policing would have restricted Steele’s opportunity to abuse the powers governed to him as a law
Sheriffs have power over the county in whole and are usually seen as the officers that are in control of the people being taken into jail. Many of them work together in high priority job or sometimes wrecks and other small incidents. If it deals with a drug bust, bank robbery, or a murder then this will be the three agencies together where they will have to work together. Which runs into difficulty when they have a problem with who think they have higher power than the other and tries taken care of the whole situation.

Abstract The Code of Ethics by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) serves as a comprehensive guidebook for professional conduct, promoting ideals of integrity, equity, and justice. The manual sets a high standard for the JSO staff, mandating that they treat the public with dignity, respect, and empathy. When law enforcement cooperates with the community to identify and respond to safety issues and criminal activity, it builds trust within the community. The JSO emphasizes equal treatment for everyone, irrespective of traits such as race, gender, or ethnicity.
Across the United States, there are three different levels of law enforcement agencies that uphold the justice system. These agencies are known as a municipal agency, a state agency, and a federal agency. In Arizona, these three different levels of law enforcement are clearly seen within the Glendale Police Department, Arizona Department of Public Safety, and United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Even though each of the three law enforcement agencies have many similarities and differences amongst their roles, they all have the shared vision of working together to protect and defend the people in their jurisdiction. The Role of Each Agency
Two Federal law enforcement agencies, their functions and their jurisdictional influences. Though there are many, Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the United States Marshals Service (USMS) are the two I chose to talk about. ATF’s primary function is to “fight against firearms crime, arson, explosives violations, and the illegal trafficking of alcohol and tobacco products” (Andrew L. Lluberes, 2005). The ATF is additionally used in investigating non-terroristic explosive incidents and aiding assisting, state and local law enforcement, in investigating any incidents relating to any of the crimes included above.
One of the most important federal law enforcement agency is the United States Marshals Service (USMS). The U.S. Marshals Service being the oldest American federal law enforcement agency, was created in 1789 under the Judiciary Act during George Washington presidency. The primary reason the USMS was created was to carry out all lawful warrants issued to President George Washington. Today the USMS is responsible for apprehending fugitives, providing protection for the federal judiciary, transporting federal prisoners, protecting federal witnesses, and managing assets seized from criminal enterprises. The USMS mission is to protect, defend and enforce the American justice system.
Working in the field of law enforcement and being ethically sound is important. It is important within our professional career that we are able to maintain a standard that doesn’t cross any ethical lines. Even in our academic we have to hold ourselves to an ethical standard, because we are trusted to do what is right. If we violate the academic integrity it put a mark on our ability to be trusted. Just as Dr. Steven Davis stated if someone is will to cheap to get ahead how can they be trusted
A system to assist the president in different areas. There are 15 departments made in the cabinet system. ”It was also a system that maximized executive control while also creating the essential distance from detail”.

As a Probation and Parole Officer, my duties is to enforce the law but primary is to help individuals with social resources so they can become productive member of society. Probation and Parole Officer should communicate with other law enforcement officer to gain information or gain more detail about the person that the Probation Officer is supervising. Police Officers serve an integral role in the criminal justice system, and their duty is to arrest individuals and bring them up on charges. If the individual is adjudicated in court, then the individual enters the Delaware Correctional system. Every individual will be placed in their correct supervision level as set forth by SENTAC and sentencing order.
In the criminal justice system, there are three major components. They are the police, the courts, and the corrections. Each one of the components has a role to play in the system. The police are in charge of arresting and investigating crimes. The courts are charged with the responsibility of punishing offenders while the corrections implement the court rulings.
“Correction officers supervise convicted offenders when they are in jail, in prison, or in the community on probation or parole” (National Center for Victims of Crime, 2008). When a defendant is found guilty, they are usually sentenced to time in jail, houses of correction, prisons, probation, or parole. When they are sentenced to time in prison, it is the responsibility of corrections and their officers to ensure that the defendant is treated humanely. It is also their job to make sure that the correctional facility that is holding the offender is safe and secure.
It is easy to learn about a subject from a book, but it is an entirely different matter to learn about a subject through real life experience. I hope to learn how to serve and protect while implementing the law correctly, especially in today’s world when the level of support for police officers is very low and the level of misconduct cases concerning the police are very high. It is not easy to know what to do in every situation, especially when some reactions are needed with very little or no time to think about. It is one thing to hear about a crime happening and the response that would be best to give, and another thing to need
‘’Most officers enter law enforcement with minimal experience in the field or in handling the moral dilemmas that officers typically encounter. They learn how to perform their jobs, as well as recognize the organizational norms, values, and culture, from their peers and supervisors. While supervisors provide direct, formal reinforcement, officers’ peers offer friendship and informal rewards that, in many cases, hold greater influence than official recognition from the agency’’ (Fitch, 2011). Officers who come across situations where they are unsure what is morally and ethically best to do often turn to their peers for assurance and guidance. Good ethical behavior can easily be influenced by officers and those in law enforcement.
