U. S. Marshals Service Centralized Student Career Experience Program (CSCEP)
Informational Fact Sheet

This cooperative education program prepares potential Deputy U.S. Marshals to enter the USMS. Deputy U.S. Marshals perform a wide range of duties:
  • PROTECTING COURTS:Safeguarding the federal court system has been the primary job for the Service since the first U.S. Marshals were appointed in 1789. Today, Deputy Marshals are trained to use the latest security techniques and equipment to protect judges, their staffs, prosecutors, witnesses and jurors.
  • PRISONER CUSTODY and TRANSPORTATION: Each year the Marshals Service transports more than 180,000 prisoners and aliens. Detainees being moved between courts, prisons and deportation sites typically travel in Service owned aircraft and ground vehicles.
  • WARRANT EXECUTION and SERVICE of PROCESS: One of our toughest assignments has not changed over the years - the USMS arrests 75 percent of all federal fugitives. That is more felons than are apprehended by all other federal agencies combined. Today's Deputies assist in planning and executing warrants of arrest. They locate wanted persons, make positive identification and maintain custody of persons after arrest. In addition, Deputies execute civil and criminal process at the direction of the courts.
