U.S. marshals had been around for long period of time. An old western movies they make reference to U.S. marshals in them. Today, however you don’t hear as much about U.S. marshals. That is because they don’t have as big of a job as they did in the past. Now we have SWAT teams and special police forces to deal with terrorists.
Before they only had one person who was a U.S. marshal usually in one town or city. It doesn’t seem like U.S. marshals are still relevant to today’s time, simply because it takes a team of police forces to goal against some of the bigger problems and crimes that exist today. U.S. Marshalls are still relevant, but they were more relevant in the past.
