## Information

The Marks Family wiki will be a nexus of information about a particular very special family, as well as some personal heroes of mine and their adventures in the law enforcement community. While the wiki itself is dedicated to the memory of and named for the family at the center of it all, it will also include a number of other diverse and fascinating individuals from both inside and outside of law enforcement.

At the center of this wiki is The Marks Family. Also on this wiki we celebrate the hardworking and dedicated group of HSI Special Agents who make up the Child Exploitation Investigations Group at HSI Los Angeles. Among them are dedicated child safety advocate and supervisor Ella Grant who has 15 years experience in crimes against children cases. It also includes abuse survivor and digital forensic expert Amanda Marks, who after surviving the unthinkable has dedicated her professional life to helping children not go through what she did. And kind hearted and hard charging Matthew Lambert, the groups tactical and strategic specialist. We’ll also look at the Los Angeles Metropolitan Task Force on Violent Gangs (LAMTFVG), some of its members include field supervisor, HSI Special Agent Sean Marks, an 8 year veteran of the Border Patrol and now a gang and gang related crime specialist in one of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas. Former CRASH and SIS detective Brian McGaren, a 39 year veteran of the LAPD. Damon Garris a gruff yet caring and highly motivated DEA Special Agent. And several others who make up this diverse group of law enforcement professionals.

We’ll also take a look at various federal agencies such as the FBI, Secret Service, HSI/ICE, DEA, USMS, Border Patrol etc. and some of their best and brightest.

## Important note

Yes, the vast majority of people on this wiki work within the law enforcement community, however this wiki only includes decent and honest people, regardless of their line of work, I'm a normal person so I judge a person's behavior and character and not their line of work. Here's a quote for how people in law enforcement feel about the bad ones:

"There can be no greater hatred than the one reserved for traitors to your own kind. They are just like us, except in every way that matters."

So as you can see, anyone who is a traitor and disgraces their position, agency, uniform etc isn't anyone that'll be covered here. Only normal and decent people, the same goes for anyone, only good people are covered, yes some ancillary characters may be covered such as unsubs, or corrupt people that were related to a character, but they'll never be a primary focus nor will anyone who behaves like that be added to the core group of good people this wiki is about.

Similarly there is an absolutely zero tolerance for any homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, sexism, racism, etc. No ignorant or judgmental behavior will be tolerated such as judging people based sexual orientation, gender identity, age, race, ethnicity, background, etc. Several people here are part of the LGBTQIA+ and/or polyamory community, many are persons of color or from other groups that often deal with ignorant or judgmental behavior towards them, if you have an issue with this then this is not the wiki for you. If you're someone who respects everyone equally, yes even regardless of their line of work, then this is the place for you to feel included.
