Historical Background

The US Marshal is the oldest federal law enforcement agency in the United States, established by an act issued by George Washington on September 24, 1789 (Judiciary Act). This act also created other judicial offices. Two years later, the first 16 agents were appointed, one for each judicial district of the young nation. Since then, US Marshals have been responsible for ensuring the proper functioning of the federal courts, from securing the presence of witnesses to executing death sentences.
