Which of the following is NOT listed as an ability of US Marshals?

• A. Witness Protection
• B. Fugitives
• C. Special Operations Group (SOG)
• D. Maritime enforcement

Answer: (D)

The essential idea is how the U.S. Marshals Service is structured around core federal duties: protecting the federal judiciary, pursuing and apprehending fugitives, protecting witnesses, and supporting high-risk operations through a dedicated unit. Witness protection is a hallmark function via the Witness Security Program, and handling fugitives is a primary responsibility. The Special Operations Group exists to conduct high-risk operations and tactical responses related to those duties. Maritime enforcement, however, isn’t listed as a duty of the Marshals; that area is typically handled by the U.S. Coast Guard (with other agencies involved in maritime law enforcement). So the option that doesn’t fit with the Marshals’ listed abilities is maritime enforcement.
