cities across the nation between June and September 2007. This cooperative
effort took some of the country's most dangerous wanted
criminals off the streets and made America's communities safer.

federal colleagues in the largest fugitive sweep to ever focus on
violent sex offenders, arrested 6,406 fugitives and
cleared 8,219 warrants.

members arrested

always best served when law enforcement agencies work together
for the common good.
