Federal Law Enforcement Leaders to Hold Community Open House August 23 at Old Town Pavilion

POCATELLO –  U.S. Marshal Brian Underwood and U.S. Attorney Wendy Olson will hold a community open house meeting Tuesday, August 23, at the Old Town Pavilion in Pocatello.  Underwood and Olson will be at the Old Town Pavilion, 420 N. Main, from 5 – 6 p.m. to meet and visit with persons interested in learning more about federal law enforcement in Idaho. 

“We will be available for any question, concern or issue community members would like to talk about,” said Olson.  “Frankly, we simply want members of the public, whom we serve, to have a chance to personally visit with their federal law enforcement leaders in Idaho.  We recognize that it is not always practical for people to come to our offices.”

“Confidence in government and the enforcement of law is achieved by providing true justice and being sincere in our working relationships with all people,” said Underwood.  “In Idaho, the work of our local law enforcement is really amazing to see – and we are proud to work with such great professionals and police leadership.  Like our local law enforcement partners, we want to ensure that we are doing our part in community policing and relationship building.” 

Underwood and Olson were both appointed to their positions in 2010 by the President.  They serve the entire state of Idaho, which is a single federal judicial district.  Underwood and Olson also are both graduates of Pocatello High School.
