| - The Federal Air Marshal Service (FAMS) is a law enforcement agency of the United States federal government under the supervision of the Transportation Security Administration of the United States Department of Homeland Security. The Air Marshal service is meant to promote confidence in civil aviation by effectively deploying Federal Air Marshals (FAM's) to detect, deter, and defeat hostile acts targeting U.S. air carriers, airports, passengers, and crews. FAMs are law enforcement agents of the federal government. Because of the nature of their occupation, Federal Air Marshals (FAMs) often operate independently without backup. As officers, they are required to maintain one of the highest standards for handgun accuracy. A FAM's job is to blend in with other passengers on board aircraft and rely heavily on their training, including investigative techniques, criminal terrorist behavior recognition, firearms proficiency, aircraft specific tactics, and close quarters self-defense measures to protect the flying public.
