The Marshal Service on the front line of exercising sovereignty for the Cherokee people.

There are currently approximately  35 Marshals that work and live within the 14 county jurisdictional base.  Their training includes 16 weeks at F.L.E.T.C. (Federal Law Enforcement Training Center) in Artesia, New Mexico.  Many of the Marshals hold C.L.E.E.T. (Council Law Enforcement Education Training) certifications also. 

They attend multiple trainings throughout the year to hone their skills in investigations, domestic violence intervention, drug interdiction and community policing.
