Looking for some
info from any that is on or has been on a US Marshals fugitive task force as a special deputy. My agency was approached a while back by our local deputy marshal about putting 2 people on the task force for our area. Myself and another officer submitted our paperwork and got approved and were set to be sworn in but now our mayor and city attorney are giving the run around on it over liability. If we have a uof incident while on task force business or were to get hurt who would cover the liability the marshals service or the city? The marshal said that we would be covered by hisnagency but someone with the League of cities which our city insurance is through says that it falls back on us. Just looking for some insight on this from anyone that has experienced this. Thanks in advance.
