The U.S. Marshals Service's Threat Analysis Program for the Protection of the Federal Judiciary

Abstract

The challenge the Marshals Service faces is to identify individuals who pose risks to members of the federal judicial family. To this end, each inappropriate communication or contact (IC&C) is consistently processed and systematically analyzed. The basic frame work of this process includes the reporting and review of the communication or contact, the analysis of all available information, and the reporting of the analytical results. A broad-based reporting criterion relieves judicial officials from making a determination about the communication while it ensures thorough reporting. This initial review also ensures that further processing does not violate First Amendment rights. The analyses of IC&Cs are systematic and objective, bringing about a rational comparison of one case against others with similar characteristics and known outcomes. The analysis injects an empirical approach to the threat management process. The report helps launch additional investigative action, and it may prompt a review and change of security
