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.
