        Abstract: As a law enforcement agency, the United States Marshals
    Service has unique medical requirements that prevent USMS from using
    current medical-related Standard and Optional forms. These forms have
    been developed to allow USMS to ensure that the applicants, contract
    employees and current federal employees who work in operational law
    enforcement positions are physically fit enough to perform their duties
    safely and successfully.

    law enforcement work force that is medically able to safely perform the
    required job functions. All applicants for law enforcement positions
    must have pre-employment physical examinations; existing District
    Security Officers (DSOs) must recertify that they are physically fit to

    Security Officer (CSO)'s attending physician to determine whether a CSO
    is physically able to return to work after an injury, serious illness,
    or surgery. The physician returns the evaluation to the contracting
    company, and if the determination is that the CSO may return to work,
    the CSO-012 is then signed off on by the contracting company and
    forwarded to the USMS for final review by USMS' designated medical
    reviewing official. Court Security Officers are contractors, not
