New California Republic Marshals Service

The New California Republic Marshals Service (NCRMS) is a federal law enforcement agency of the New California Republic. A service of the Department of Internal Security, it primarily holds jurisdiction over rural and frontier areas of the NCR.
==Background==
As the NCR expanded across New California and more settlements fell under its jurisdiction, the need for rural law enforcement in the growing nation was realized by the Tibbett government. While large cities like Shady Sands and the Boneyard developed their own police forces, the many dispersed settlements of the NCR relied on local militias for defense and law enforcement. With federal funding the New California Republic Marshals Service was established in 2251. Militia leaders, sheriffs of local settlements, and retired NCR military personnel provided the first wave of marshals appointed by the Republic.
After Joanna Tibbett was voted out of office in 2253, newly-inaugurated President Wendell Peterson announced the establishment of the Department of Internal Security. The new organization sought to consolidate local law enforcement and internal affairs into one administration, including the marshals. Under the new organization the NCRMS was integrated as a service of the DIS, since then the marshals have received greater funding under the Peterson and Kimball administrations to bring law and order to the increasing territory of the expanding Republic. As the NCR grows however, so do the settlements under their control. Marshals are increasingly ousted from settlements when they grow large enough to have their own police force. Growing resentment has developed between the two, with marshals often seeing police as stuck up and lazy, often referring to them as the “bitches in blue” in private.
More recently under the Kimball government there have been calls by NCR Congress to enforce greater standards on marshals. Plans have been devised to implement standard uniforms, firearms, and concepts foreign to many marshals like “strict rules” and “greater accountability.” Accusations of corruption have been made against several marshals, particularly those in more rural territories of the Republic. Marshall Billy “Brahmim” Wilson was charged in 2274 with creating a protection racket in the NCR Nevadan lands he had been given jurisdiction over.
==Organization==
All marshals are appointed by the Commissioner and they often come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Individuals like local sheriffs, militia leaders, mercenaries, retired NCR military personnel, and former Desert Rangers have all found work under the Marshals Service. 
Marshals have a great deal of freedom in their own operations. With funding provided by the NCR they are able to hire deputies of their choosing to assist their work and delegate law enforcement to. They also have the power to swear in a posse to assist with manhunts and other duties. Rather than being responsible for a specific settlement, each marshal is responsible given specific territory to enforcing NCR law within. Typically a marshal will split up their territory and assign a marshal to different sections of it.
==Equipment==
Aside from being provided a badge and an office to work out of, with the money they are provided a marshal is expected to purchase equipment for themself and their marshals. What equipment they use is up to their own discretion, no two NCR marshals use the exact same gear.
