New York City Marshals are civil litigation enforcement officers of New York City who are appointed by the mayor to 5-year terms. They are independent public officers and do not collect a salary during their tenure in office. By law, no more than 83 city marshals shall be appointed by a mayor. Marshals primarily enforce orders from civil court cases, including collecting on judgments, seizing property, and carrying out evictions.
