Some very interesting facts in the above link
Oldest Federal Law Enforcement Agency
The oldest federal law enforcement agency in the United States is truly the Marshals Service.
The agency was formed by the Judiciary Act of Sept. 24, 1789. The act specifically determined that law enforcement was to be the U.S. Marshals' primary function. Therefore it appropriately defined marshals as law enforcement officers.
