Judicial Security Inspector (JSI) Charles Bradley III is responsible for implementing physical security measures and mitigating threats to a myriad of United States Marshals Service (USMS) protected persons, facilities, and events. He oversees all USMS missions that ensure the safety and security of 14 federal facilities and their occupants in the Eastern District of Virginia. He also directly manages the training and contract oversight of more than 95 court security officers assigned throughout the state of Virginia. Over a 14-year career, JSI Bradley has regularly demonstrated leadership, flexibility, adaptability, and professionalism in carrying out USMS missions while assigned to Operations, Fugitive Investigations, and Judicial Protection. He dedicates a lot of his time to his local community while shedding a positive light on law enforcement, including giving talks at schools, scouting organizations, and youth clubs and creating the Eastern District of Virginia’s internship program. 

JSI Bradley decided to pursue a career in law enforcement after having several significant yet unfounded interactions with the police as a youth. He made it his goal to change the narrative toward law enforcement. His motivation stems from the potential of being the one ripple that causes change within law enforcement. 

JSI Bradley has been nominated for USMS Employee of the Year for three consecutive years, as well as being the recipient of many other community and USMS awards. He is dedicated to health and fitness, placing five years consecutively in Virginia’s Law Enforcement Fitness Competition, inspiring others, and being selected to participate in a USMS recruitment video.
