In recent years, his responsibilities included running the daily operations of the U.S. Marshals Service office in Baton Rouge.

U.S. Marshal Credo stated, “I am excited about this opportunity to return to the New Orleans area and look forward to working closely with our federal judiciary and fellow law enforcement agencies in efforts to reduce crime in the EDLA.”
