Clay Congratulates U.S. Marshal Bill Sibert
Senate Confirms Long-Time Clay Security Chief to Head U.S. Marshal Service in Eastern District of Missouri
 

WASHINGTON, DC- Congressman Wm. Lacy Clay (D) Missouri today congratulated St. Louis Police Detective Bill Sibert, on his confirmation as the new U.S. Marshal for the Eastern District of Missouri. Detective Sibert was nominated by President Obama this past July. He has almost thirty years of experience in law enforcement.
 

“I want to thank President Obama for selecting my good friend as the new U.S. Marshal for the Eastern District of Missouri,” said the Congressman. “The U.S. Marshal Service is as old as our republic. It has a legendary history of protecting our nation with exceptional courage, dedication, innovation and integrity. Detective Sibert is exceptionally qualified for this key position. Bill has almost three decades of experience on the streets of St. Louis, where he brought many violent, dangerous criminals to justice. I have absolute confidence that he will do an outstanding job as the new U.S. Marshal in St. Louis. I commend the U.S. Senate for confirming this dedicated public servant.”
 

Across the nation, 94 U.S. Marshals and their deputies provide judicial security for the federal courts, apprehend fugitives, transport federal prisoners, manage seized assets and provide special tactical support units that respond to emergencies anywhere in the United States. Bill Sibert is the 46th U.S. Marshal for the Eastern District of Missouri.
