Guam - The U.S. Marshals Service handed over ballistic shields to local law enforcement agencies who are members of the Taotaomona Fugitive Task Force. The Guam Police Department, the Department of Corrections and the Judiciary were each presented shields as part of a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Marshals.

U.S. Marshal Frank Leon Guerrero said, "This ballistic shield adds more protection for the officers that are encountering the fugitives out in the field or as they conduct a raid."

Leon Guerrero adds his team has more ballistic shields that local law enforcement agencies can use.
