Due to the success of the Cleveland pilot, on October 17, 2005, Marshals Service Director John F. Clark directed the USMS Investigative Services Division to prepare for additional Fugitive Safe Surrender opportunities in selected cities across the nation. In the months and years ahead, the Marshals Service plans to conduct Fugitive Safe Surrender programs similar to the successful Cleveland initiative in the following cities:

• Atlanta, Georgia;
• Austin, Texas;
• Camden, New Jersey;
• Harrisburg, Pennsylvania;
• Jacksonville, Florida;
• Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and
• Wilmington, Delaware.

In each city, the local U.S. Marshal is partnering with faith-based leaders and corporate executives; federal, state and local authorities, including prosecutors, courts, sheriffs, mayors, police chiefs and public defenders; and other community leaders to implement Fugitive Safe Surrender in 2007 and beyond.

The successful completion of Fugitive Safe Surrender garnered media attention throughout Ohio and across the country. It also caught the attention of Congress, as Senator Mike DeWine (R-OH) and Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-OH) sponsored legislation that would authorize the program on a national level. That legislation was included in the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006¸which was signed into law by President George Bush on July 27, 2006. The Act bolsters the Marshals Service’s ability to expand Fugitive Safe Surrender throughout the country as it authorizes federal appropriations for the program beginning in Fiscal Year 2007. Grant money also has been provided by the Department of Justice/Office of Justice Programs for start-up costs and program implementation.
