Residents of Florida who need to report a federal fugitive, respond to a federal court summons, or access information about USMS-managed property auctions should contact their district office directly. The USMS does not handle state or local criminal matters.

If you are a Florida resident with a tip about a federal fugitive, you can submit information anonymously through the national USMS tip line at 1-877-WANTED2 or through the state's district office directly. Tips related to state-level fugitives should be directed to local law enforcement agencies rather than the USMS.
