As a cross designated Special Deputy United States Marshal; he was assigned to the “America’s Most Wanted” Fugitive Apprehension Team which had a nationwide mission.

As an additional duty, Bannon's team functioned as a highly trained Tactical Entry / Special Weapons and Tactics "S.W.A.T." unit that assisted other local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies with the service of extremely high risk search and arrest warrants. Bannon further investigated threat and murder for hire cases that were perpetrated against law enforcement officers, other public officials and their families.
