Episode 130: U.S. Marshal Peter Elliott

The U.S. Marshals is the oldest American Federal law enforcement agency. The service was created way back during the presidency of George Washington.  Joining a long and storied list of American lawmen, in 2003, Peter Elliott was appointed by President George W. Bush as a U.S. Marshal. Since then, he has been retained by presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump. Elliot is one of only 94 U.S. marshals appointed by the president to oversee a judicial district within their state. He is the longest-serving U.S. Marshal in Ohio history. 

In today’s episode, we discuss:
  • The amazing success of the witness protection program
  • How he got 850 fugitives (including 300 felons) to peacefully surrender one time … without tricking them!
  • Partnering with law enforcement agencies all over the country
  • Why it’s important to continue tracking fugitives
  • Creating the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task 
  • … and so much more!!!
