Advocates for federal law enforcement officers say a crisis brewing in their ranks. Inadequate pay - especially in cities with high costs of living - is forcing many officers to beg for transfers or to quit their jobs. But if federal law enforcement officers are dissatisfied with their salaries, they aren't voting with their feet. In 2003, federal law enforcement quit rates, the numbers at which officers leave their jobs voluntarily before retirement, ranged from about 0.25% among federal correctional institution administrators to 6.3% for deputy US marshals. Some 5% of Border Patrol agents, 27.7% of federal prison officers and 0.65% of criminal investigators quit in 2003. Salary figures indicate that few agents need to be concerned about their ability to support their families. It woul...

BANGOR - Members of Maine's congressional delegation announced Thursday that that the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, or COPS, has awarded a combined $1,640,979 in grant funding to nine local law enforcement agencies in Maine under the COPS Hiring Program. The program provides federal grants to create and preserve law enforcement jobs. It provides full funding for approved entry-level salaries and three-year benefits for newly hired, full-time, sworn office positions and for rehiring officers who have been laid off or are scheduled to be laid off by budget cuts.

SOMEONE ought to tell the Bush administration that prisons are for criminals, not law-enforcement personnel trying to do their jobs. On Thursday, a federal judge in Texas sentenced two former Border Patrol agents to 11 and 12 years in prison because they shot at a drug smuggler who was evading arrest. In February 2005, Border Patrol agent Jose Alonso Compean got in a scuffle with smuggler Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila, who was driving a van that carried 743 pounds of marijuana. Compean and fellow agent Ignacio Ramos shot at Aldrete-Davila - they say they thought he had a gun, which Aldrete-Davila denies. Ramos shot the smuggler in the butt, but because Aldrete-Davila kept running - across the border - they said they thought they did not hit him.

This article examines the federal government's growing use of 18 USC § 1346 to prosecute public company executives for breaching their fiduciary duties. Section 1346 is a controversial but under-examined statute making it a felony to engage in a scheme "to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services." Although enacted by Congress over twenty years ago, the Supreme Court repeatedly declined to review the statute, until now. The questions before the Supreme Court are of particular interest to public company executives and their professional advisors. Traditionally, Delaware law has governed the content and enforcement of executives' legal duties, largely protecting public company fiduciaries from civil liability. Now, with the emergence of honest services fraud as a weapon ...
