The Marshals Service supports communities by transferring certain types of forfeited assets to state, local and nonprofit organizations.

The agency employs best practices from private industry to ensure that assets are managed and sold in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

The Marshals manage the distribution of proceeds and payments to victims of crime and other innocent third parties, all of which helps to mitigate the financial damage inflicted by criminal activity.

Proceeds generated from asset sales are used to operate the program, compensate victims and support various law enforcement efforts.
