The partnership between the ECSO and the U.S. Marshals Service is beneficial to the citizens of Etowah County. It allows for the conducting of fugitive investigations by the Warrant Division deputies, who are deputized as Special Deputy U.S. Marshals. This gives them the authority to investigate and pursue fugitives outside of their normal jurisdictions.
The Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force currently serves 67 counties in Alabama, 82 counties in Mississippi, 13 parishes in Eastern Louisiana and Memphis, Tennessee. The task force is comprised of 46 law enforcement agencies combining their resources on a full-time basis, as well as a number of agencies that participate on a part-time basis.
