Background The United States Marshals Service was named the lead federal agency responsible for enforcing sex offender registration laws in accordance with the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act (AWA) passed in 2006. To accomplish this mission, the USMS and the National Sex Offender Targeting Center (NSOTC) uses a multi-agency intelligence center that provides support to law enforcement in enforcing sex offender registration laws. To meet this mission and complying with the AWA, the USMS requires the services of analysts in filtering and obtaining data related to sex offenders and the requirement that all such offenders must be registered. These services are unique in that they are only provided to Federal and State agencies in the apprehension of sex offenders. The analysts would be working in the NSOTC located within the USMS and mandated by Congress. The NCMEC is unique in these types of services and the databases that they maintain.
