Michael Hughes, a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Marshals Service, has been sworn in as U.S. marshal for the D.C. courts. Hughes has spent his entire law enforcement career with the Marshals Service, most recently as the chief of the Office of Crisis Services within the service’s tactical operations division. He was responsible for providing crisis intervention, personal assistance and support to Marshals Service employees.
For his new post, Hughes was nominated by President Obama, confirmed by the U.S. Senate and sworn in Friday.
“Throughout his career, Michael has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to justice. I am grateful for his continued willingness to serve and protect the American people,” the president said.
