FUGITIVES FROM JUSTICE The Bureau of Investigation conducts investigations for the purpose uf locating and causing the arrest of persons who are fugitives from - justice by reason of violations of the Federal laws over which the bureau has jurisdiction, of escaped Federal prisoners, and parole and probation violators. The bureau also seeks to bring about the ap- prehension of other Federal fugitives from justice when the efforts uf the United States marshal and the Federal investigative agency having primary jurisdiction have failed to locate such persons. When the arrest of a Federal fugitive from justice is not brought about within a reasonable time, the bureau issues what is known as an identification order, which is distributed to peace officers in all parts of the country. These identification orders contain the name, photo- graph, fingerprints, and description of the fugitive, together with all available information which might prove helpful in bringing about | his arrest. When the fugitive is apprehended, an apprehension order is issued so that all efforts to locate the individual may be discon- tinued. If you do not already receive these orders, the bureau will be pleased to place your name on the mailing list. It is of the utmost importance in investigations relating to fugitives that any information secured be sent to the nearest bureau office without delay.
