This is the second part of my interview with Jon Asher, who worked for 8 years on the U.S. Marshal's fugitive apprehension task force. He talks how you can help your department while working full time at the task force. And this is an interesting dynamic where, as a task force officer, you're balancing relationships among people at the the municipal, county, state, and federal levels. He also does a great job of weighing the pros and cons of this kind of work.

Don't miss what he says about coming back and reintegrating with your department once the the task force assignment is over and what he says are the advantages of having done the task force work.
