“OPERATION FALCON II”
Among 9,037 Fugitives Apprehended in Nationwide Operation
FALCON II was conducted from April 17–23, 2006.
FALCON II (Federal and Local Cops Organized Nationally) was conducted in 27 states mostly west of the Mississippi River, and the territories of Guam and Northern Mariana Islands
“During each day of FALCON II we put more than 2,100 law enforcement officers on the street to arrest individuals like Wisham,” said USMS Director Clark. “The only way to achieve huge arrest statistics like these is with the full and enthusiastic cooperation of agencies at every level of government. I’m deeply grateful for their efforts.”
For this seven-day nationwide operation, the Marshals coordinated officers from 120 state agencies, 330 county agencies, 312 police departments, six foreign law enforcement agencies, and 24 other federal agencies.
