Description
The State Marshall System consists of an eight-member State Marshal Commission, appointed for a three-year term, which sets training requirements and professional standards amongst other things; a 24-member Advisory Board – marshals elected by other marshals for one year – for communicating with the branches of government and discussing law changes and issues important to marshals; and over 200 State Marshals, allocated by county. Two members of the advisory board also sit ex-officio on the commission. The State Marshal System is a function of the executive branch of state government, although it is also publicized by the judicial branch.
Connecticut State Marshals are not state employees: they are private contractors paid by the person or business that hires them. They are authorized by the state to perform certain duties and services, and their fees are governed by state law, although the Judicial Branch can arrange a fee waiver in certain circumstances.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“Whose are the truly labored sentences? From the weak and flimsy periods of the politician and literary man, we are glad to turn even to the description of work, the simple record of the month’s labor in the farmer’s almanac, to restore our tone and spirits.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
