Background:
The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) has provided deputies for the past five presidential inaugurations to provide security services during the inauguration events.
Sheriff’s Office deputies will be federally deputized by the U.S. Marshals Service to perform necessary law enforcement steps to keep the peace of the United States, enforce federal law, protect visiting foreign officials and official guests, take necessary law enforcement steps to prevent violations of federal law, and enforce District of Columbia law.
Deputies will work in partnership with uniformed officers from the Metropolitan Police to aid in crowd control along the parade route, the Inaugural Balls and other critical sites around the city. Reimbursement for personnel costs (salaries, overtime payments, and other reimbursable such as travel, food and lodging) will be made by the District of Columbia and funded by the United States. HCSO employees acting within the course and scope of their official duties and assignments may be considered an “employee” of the U.S. Government pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act.
