Union Marshall



The United Stars Marshals Service (USMS) is a law enforcement agency within the Justice Department.

The Marshals Service is the enforcement arm of the Union courts. Marshals are given extensive authority to support the Union courts within their districts, and to carry out all lawful orders issued by Union judges, or the Assembly. The Marshals are the primary agency for fugitive operations. Marshals are also responsible for the protection of officers of the court, court buildings and the effective operation of the judiciary. The service also assists with court security, prisoner transport, and serves federal arrest warrants. The marshals and their deputies make arrests, and handle all federal prisoners. They made sure the prisoners are present, the jurors are available, and that the witnesses are on time.

 Marshals are permitted to recruit special deputies as local hires or as temporary transfers to the Marshals Service from other federal law-enforcement agencies. Marshals were also authorized to swear in local citizens to assist with manhunts and other duties ad hoc.

 During the settlement of fringe regions, marshals often serve as the main source of day-to-day law enforcement in various parts of the region that had no local government of their own. Marshals thus provide local representation for the federal government within their districts.
