Forfeiture Support Associates (FSA) brings together two proven service providers—MPRI, an L-3 Communications Company, and AECOM Government Services (AECOM-GSI). FSA’s management approach leverages the resources and experience of MPRI and AECOM-GSI for a single purpose—continuous high-quality service delivery in a variety of labor catergories. Our core business focus is in providing key staffing support for Department of Justice (DOJ) agencies and offices, other Federal Law Enforcement prosecutorial venues, and the Federal Law Enforcement community in general. Our largest customers include the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), United States Marshals Service (USMS), Executive Office of the United States Attorney (EOUSA), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).

Business Division 1 – DOJ Asset Forfeiture Support

FSA’s primary business is generated from our Department of Justice (DOJ) Asset Forfeiture contract. This long-term contract provides the Federal Law Enforcement community with a wide variety of support, in 30+ labor categories. This contract vehicle has been in existence for decades and is administered by the Asset Forfeiture Management Staff (AFMS) at DOJ. Currently the contract provides nearly 1500 ordered positions in over 450 Federal Law Enforcement office locations throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and Guam. Click here for more information

FSA is currently in the process of becoming a GSA schedules contractor. Within the very near future FSA will be able to offer our Government customers the alternative of ordering our services directly from one of several GSA schedules.

I wonder what their slogan is. “Helping the government steal your shit.”? “The paper pushers making sure your things end up in the forfeiture’s hands.”? Or something directed toward their clients? “Making sure they can’t get it back!” “Who wants a new gold watch?”

I wonder who’s buddy owns this company or it’s an ex DEA/FBI agent.

A bill that would have given District of Columbia residents their first-ever member of Congress died in the Senate on Tuesday, dashing hopes of finally gaining full voting rights after a 206-year wait.

Senators voted 57-42, just three votes short of the 60 needed to move the measure forward. The bill would have created two new House seats: One for the city of about 600,000 people and one for Utah, which narrowly missed out on a fourth seat after the last census.

If they are going to give DC voting rights it should be given state status otherwise treated like other US territories like Guam, Puerto Rico, etc. If it’s really an issue then let Virginia or Maryland absorb it. DC was never meant to have the general public living there but simply a neutral location where those members of government went to perform their duties. Why must all these one off exceptions be made for DC? It’s not necessary.

The former mayor of New Jersey’s largest city and a companion pleaded not guilty on Monday to a host of federal charges including suspicion of taking lavish vacations with city money.

Sharpe James, 71, mayor of Newark from 1986 until he retired last year, was indicted on 33 federal counts, accused of using city credit cards for himself, eight women and others during personal trips to places such as Rio de Janeiro, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.

James, now a Democratic state senator, also is accused of facilitating the cut-rate sale of city land to his frequent companion, Tamika Riley, who was charged with fraud along with James and pleaded not guilty.

“God is good all the time,” James told reporters repeatedly as he left the courthouse, declining to comment on the case. He and Riley had been out on bail.

This is only news worthy because I went to NJIT in Newark when James was in office. He’d been in office so long people were shocked when he retired. Appears he was as corrupt as everyone figured.
