The United States Marshals Service
has teamed up with state, county, local and other federal law
enforcement agencies across the nation to identify, investigate
and apprehend violent offenders, gang members, sex offenders and
drug dealers wanted on felony charges throughout the United
States. Beginning June 1, 2008, Operation FALCON 2008 continued the
four year tradition of arresting as many fugitives and violent
crime “impact players” as possible. The past five FALCONs
resulted in the capture of more than 55,800 dangerous
fugitives. Operation FALCON 2008 has been no different. More than 19,000 people
were arrested during the operation, to include:
