|---|---|---|---|
| Personnel to Staff New Courthouses | 52 | 26 | $3,625 |
| The USMS is currently in the process of restructuring the operational workforce into 3 categories: Criminal Investigators for fugitive apprehension and protective details; Deputy U.S. Marshals (DUSMs) for courtroom security; and, Detention Enforcement Officers for prisoner handling and security in the cellblocks. This request reflects the new restructuring. As the top priority, the USMS seeks $3,625,000 and 52 positions (41 DUSMs) to handle the increased workload generated by the opening of new courthouses. Because new courthouses increase or supplement the number of courtrooms in old courthouses rather than replace them, USMS must have additional personnel for courtroom protection and prisoner security in order for the courthouses to open on time. | |||
| Courthouse Security Equipment and Furnishings | ... | ... | 5,769 |
| The USMS requests $5,769,000 to furnish and equip courthouses that are new or undergoing significant renovation. The acquisition and installation of security equipment in new courthouses is imperative for the safe and secure operation of the courthouse and can take up to 2 years to complete, from the time of laying out the system on construction blueprints to the final installation. Telephone and radio systems are also an integral part of the building structure and must be purchased new during the construction phase. New furniture is required for common areas in addition to that which is included in the costs for new positions. Of the amount requested, $4,290,000 is for security systems, $470,000 is for telephone systems and cabling, $189,000 is for relocation expenses, and $820,000 is for furnishings. | |||
| D.C. Revitalization Act Impact | 42 | 21 | 2,728 |
| The USMS seeks resources to support the anticipated workload increase as a result of the National Capital Revitalization and Self Government Act of 1997. The closure of the prison complex in Lorton, VA, mandated by the Act, will cause the USMS to spend more time and resources in transporting prisoners from remote areas to and from court in D.C. The USMS will also be responsible for monitoring and paying the transport of D.C. prisoners from their designated prisons to D.C. and back in response to court-ordered writs and warrants of removal. In addition, the Act federalizes the D.C. parole authority and merges all matters under the U.S. Parole Commission, which will cause a significant increase in parole violation warrants and detainers. Warrant maintenance and apprehension responsibility will be shared by the D.C. Superior Court and USMS D.C. District Court. The request also includes resources for administrative support of these activities. | |||
| Prisoner Transportation | ... | ... | 3,458 |
| The USMS requests resources for additional anticipated air movements of USMS prisoners. In 2002, the prisoner population, with the inclusion of the anticipated growth due to D.C. revitalization, is expected to increase by approximately 11 percent over the 2002 appropriated level, which will correspondingly increase the number of prisoners requiring movement on the Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System (JPATS). JPATS is a critical tool in the safe, efficient, and cost-effective movement of USMS detainees to designated prisons, prisoners being moved for court or other purposes, prisoners that require medical oversight, and high threat prisoners that require additional security. | |||
