We can come back and really let it sink in: The Marshalls FILL IN ANY AND ALL NEEDED ACTIVITIES FOR THE COURTS.
So: A court needs someone FOUND, DETAINED, TRANSPORTED or protected - they CAN ORDER A MARSHALL TO DO ALL THOSE THINGS WITHOUT ANY OTHER INTERFERENCE, like in old movies Judges would APPOINT COUNSELS, ORDER LAW ENFORCEMENT TO ASSIST IN ANY INVESTIGATION OR LITIGATION THEY ARE INTERESTED IN.

Like in ERASER - the ”dramatic license” is used and abused precisely like in so, so many shows and movies where MArshalls go ABOVE AND BEYOND to fulfill their duties, which in no way, shape or form detracts from their duties to perform relegated duties at a federal level: people do live in a town or city, federal cases do start in local crime scenes and Marshalls do have to find people and detain or protect them for the duration of a trial or investigation when ordered to do so in a particular location.

MC is literally given the reigns of the entire police station and the assets because everybody else was let go, MC is staffing this police presence with his own pregnant girlfriend, the lack of involvement from the local Govt. is total.

If the local Govt. shuts the police station down, MC will have to work on his mandate from home, devoid of all assets from the police.
This is hella hard for a Federal Officer to manage, yet FBI agents get assigned such lack luster whork to death jobs in movies all the time.
Like it was observed, the federal authorities can assign their workers to anything that needs fixing, investigated, observed and assisted, but if you have nobody to assist or observe, you will have to do it yourself because the mandate comes from way up high, where they do not care how you fulfill your mandate if you are ordered to do so.
MC as a MArshall is ABOVE AND BEYOND LAW ENFORCEMENT AND GETS HIS MANDATE FROM A JUDGE OR A HIGHER MARSHALL IN THE CHAIN IN COMMAND. MC can fill in ALL THE JOBS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT IF ORDERED TO DO SO.

Like everyone observed, where all law enforcement is absent, a MArshall - FEDERAL AUTHORITY IN ANY GIVEN STATE OR DISTRICT - he can absolutely do everything needed to assist - in this case do it all - in any investigation, man hunt, detention and protection and transport of people relevant in a federal case.
Marshals are like a Federal Sheriffs Department. As federal law enforcement, a deputy US marshal can exercise law enforcement authority (power of arrest, power to search, carry a concealed firearm e.c.t) anywhere in the US on or off duty. Whilst the US Marshals’ focus is on hunting down fugitives, acting as the DC city sheriff, protecting federal judges and other high ranking members of the judiciary, acting as courtroom bailiffs in some federal courts and transporting convicts from federal facilities they can enforce any federal law, although
this would only be seen as reasonable if the relevant agency was not present. In this game, MC is utterly alone, no other agency present.
