Background

The USMS JSD is committed to the protection of the judicial process – by ensuring the safe and secure conduct of judicial proceedings and protecting federal judges, jurors and other members of the federal judiciary. This mission is accomplished by anticipating and deterring threats to the judiciary. Senior Inspectors, Deputy Marshals and Court Security Officers (CSO) provide security for federal court facilities in each of the 94 judicial districts and the District of Columbia Superior Court. The USMS contracts with private security companies to provide CSOs in federal judicial facilities. There are currently over 5,200 CSOs throughout the United States and territories. All CSO Applicants are required to pass an initial medical examination prior to performing on the contracts. CSO Incumbents are required to undergo and pass subsequent medical exams every other year (biennially).

Currently Medical Exams are performed by the designated physicians of the companies holding CSO contracts. Applicant CSOs must be medically qualified before they can start performing on the CSO contract and Incumbent CSOs must be re-assessed and re-qualify every other year to continue performing. Currently Federal Occupational Health (FOH) Law Enforcement programs and the Department of Health & Human Services review CSO medical examinations, and http://www.fedbizopps.gov/ http://www.fedbizopps.gov/ coordinate with applicable private security contract companies concerning CSO supplemental medical information and the tracking of medical qualifications.
