Colonial Coalition Marshals Service

The Colonial Coalition Marshals Service, commonly referred to as simply the Coalition Marshals is the local law enforcement agency of the Colonial Coalition tasked with patrolling the worlds and shipping lanes of the Coalition in the Shoals.

Organization


The CCMS is responsible for enforcing the law amongst the colonies and various other regions in the Shoals. The Coalition Marshals execute all lawful writs, processes, and orders issued under the authority of the Colonial Coalition and United Federation of Planets.

While performing their duties the CCMS Marshals often engage in activities such as but not limited to the apprehending of wanted fugitives, providing protection for political officials, transporting colonial prisoners, protecting endangered witnesses, and managing assets seized from criminal enterprises.

Divisions


The CCMS is known to have several 'divisions' of Marshals active today.

Colony security

Every Coalition colony utilizing the CCMS has a planetary-based division of marshals, often acting as a law enforcement on a smaller scale for the colony. These marshals are also often deployed as security for newly founded settlements on colony worlds.

Border security

Territory patrol

Marshals on territory patrol regularly engage in simple operations, such as check vessels for safety concerns, or undergo drug raids or rescue ops, and other sorts of "roaming" operations. However, they generally operate only within their designated area of space (which is around the Coalition planet they've been assigned to).

Investigations

The Investigations Division is comprised of multiple units who are responsible for handling investigations based on the crime committed, complexity, and the requirement of special expertise. They provide assistance to the patrol and security division's with investigations, as needed. This division has the second largest number of personnel and is composed of detectives, special investigators, specialists, technicians, supervisors and support staff.

CCMS Ranks


CCMS Marshals may have differing job titles and descriptions depending on the division they serve in, and most Marshals operate alone or in small teams, but each individual marshal also has a 'Rank' which indicates and dictates their status and responsibilities within their division.

Deputy Marshal

  • The first rank signifying the advancement from entry level positions to the position of 'Marshal'. A Deputy is the lowest ranking member of the CCMS and is the most commonly encountered rank of marshal.
  • Special Deputy Marshal: When a civilian is deputized under the authority of an authorized CCMS Marshal they are temporarily granted the rank, duty, and authority of "Special Deputy" Marshal.

Detective Marshal

  • The duty of an Inspector Marshal is to take direction's from superiors and turn them into a plan of action for the Marshals operating in their jurisdiction. They evaluate officers and other staff in performance reviews and identify development and training needs for the division. On top of these duties, Inspectors act as ambassadors of their department in civic meetings and other community efforts.
