Manhunters: Fugitive Task Force is a half-hour reality television show that premiered on A&E in December 2008. It chronicled US Marshals and local law enforcement as they hunted down some of America's worst fugitives. The show's 60 episodes' primary focus was on the New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force based out of New York City. The show's first season averaged 1.6 million viewers. [1]
The New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force (NY/NJ RFTF) became operational in May 2002. [2] It has Memoranda of Understanding with over 80 federal, state, or local agencies and three offices in the New York/New Jersey area.
The force was mandated by Congress after the September 11 attacks, and the US Marshals allowed the show to be made because of its public relations value. [1] [3]
