Lets U.S. Marshals help Tribal police find fugitives and fight crime.

This bill would let the U.S. Marshals Service directly help Indian Tribes track down people wanted for crimes, if the Tribe asks. It would also allow a national crime analysis center to offer its services to Indian Tribes and their police, giving them more support for law enforcement.

What Would Change

Today, the U.S. Marshals Service and the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime primarily focus on helping federal, state, and local law enforcement. After this bill, these federal agencies would explicitly be able to assist Indian Tribes and Tribal law enforcement agencies with fugitive matters and crime analysis services.
