Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Effective

This is the highest rating a program can achieve. Programs rated Effective set ambitious goals, achieve results, are well-managed and improve efficiency.
  • This program is well designed to consistently achieve ambitious goals. For example, the number of assaults against federal judges remains zero, and zero court proceedings were interrupted last year due to inadequate security.
  • The program recently improved the time to analyze potential threats to less than one day. This analysis can then be quickly shared to inform US Marshals in support of the program's mission.
  • The program is expanding access to judicial threat information and similar resources maintained by other federal, state and local law enforcement entities. This information will help identify any threats to the judicial process.
