Fugitive Safe Surrender is a unique initiative managed by the United States Marshals Service that encourages wanted non-violent offenders to voluntarily surrender in a faith-based or other neutral setting. It was authorized by Congress in July 2006, and is believed to be the first program of its kind in the nation. It is managed as a community re-entry program that offers individuals with felony and misdemeanor warrants the chance to have their cases adjudicated in a safe and non-violent environment. Fugitive Safe Surrender's goal is to reduce risk to the officers pursuing fugitives, to the neighborhoods in which they hide, and to the fugitives themselves. |
