- A federal law enforcement officer, charged with apprehending fugitives from federal law, protecting the federal courts and ensuring the smooth function of the court system. The United States Marshals Service was the first federal law enforcement agency created in the young U.S.A., in 1789. While its primary duty was to the judicial system, the Service also acted as the local-level representative of federal laws. For example, the Marshals took the census every ten years until 1870. Marshals have the ability to deputize ordinary citizens (but not military personnel) at need, popularly known as "forming a Posse." In films and television, many marshals' deputies are clueless, which will inevitably exasperate the marshal when he finds out. Sturgeon's Law strongly suggests that this happened in Real Life as well. Since a marshal is directly responsible to the federal government, they're not as likely to be influenced by local politics as The Sheriff or a police chief. That said, many U.S. marshals have also been sheriffs or town marshals before or after their federal service. Note that the difference between something like the FBI and the US Marshals is that the marshals are expected to go off into the wilderness, usually alone, take into custody and bring back to justice whoever they are sent after. It pretty much requires that you be a total Badass. So while an FBI agent might or might not be a Badass, a US Marshal always is - even if he looks like a nerd. Big duties assigned to the Marshals Service today include Witness Protection and prisoner transport across state lines. They are not, however, the Air Marshals assigned to flights to counter hijackings, which is a separate service entirely. Examples of US Marshal include:
- US Marshal handed Tony Stark his subpoena after he opened the 2010 Stark Expo.
- A United States Marshal was a law enforcement officer in the United States of America on Earth. Wyatt Earp, who participated in the famous gunfight at Tombstone, Arizona served as a U.S. Marshal. (TOS episode: "Spectre of the Gun") While participating in the Ancient West Program, Worf asked his son Alexander Rozhenko what was to be done with Eli Hollander, whom they had just arrested. Alexander, playing the role of deputy, responded that they were to hold Hollander until the marshal from Rapid City could travel to Deadwood and take Hollander back to Rapid City for trial.
