iMarshals is a non-profit, non-governmental, 501(c)(3) tax exempt charitable organization partnering with higher education. iMarshals trains students and focuses on the use of social media, facial recognition, open sources and the general public to assist in locating and identifying fugitives, wanted criminals, sex offenders and missing/exploited persons and children in support of law enforcement, community and media efforts. iMarshals profiles these individuals and utilizes innovative intelligence and information gathering methods including advancements in recognition software and electronic forensic tools to assist our communities, the media and law enforcement in the investigation. iMarshals is NOT a law enforcement agency and is not affililated with or should be construed as any U.S. or other Government organization.
Members of the general public can become “Deputy iMarshals” and sign up to receive alerts to their mobile devices via our mobile app for iPhone and Droid, “BOLO for iMARSHALS,” and/or email on profiled persons in the subscriber’s designated geographic areas of interest. The general public can then supply leads and information to the sponsoring law enforcement agency which may entitle them to reward money based on that individual agency’s local law enforcement guidelines and policies.
