DUSMs may participate in a high-risk vehicle pursuit initiated by other agencies if the subject is:

• A. Never
• B. Federal fugitive or case assigned to a task force
• C. Under any circumstances
• D. If subject is armed

Answer: (B)

When a DUSM joins a high‑risk vehicle pursuit led by another agency, the permissible scenario is tied to federal jurisdiction and coordinated efforts. If the subject is a federal fugitive or the case is assigned to a joint task force the Marshals Service participates in the pursuit under established supervision and interagency coordination. This setup leverages federal authority and the resources of a task force, ensuring actions align with policy and safety requirements. Armed subject or pursuing under any circumstances aren’t the defining factors for cross‑agency participation. The critical condition is the federal nature of the fugitive or the case’s inclusion in a task force, which justifies Marshals involvement and formal coordination.
