Town Code Chapter 33; §§33.01–33.05, 33.22–33.26

Roseland polices itself. The town marshal's office dates to 1938, created, in the code's words, "to curtail the traffic problem on U.S. Highway 31" — the origin of the town's speed-trap reputation, carried in the Story of Roseland section. The code's Chapter 33 carries the modern department whole: the marshal's appointment, compensation and tenure (§33.01), powers (§33.02), deputy marshals (§33.03), uniforms (§33.04), a police manual (§33.05) and police reserves (§§33.22–.26). The marshal line as reached: Jack Tiller (2007); Craig Toner, appointed in 2007 over David Snyder's dissenting vote and dead in office 1 November 2008 after just over a year; Aaron Catanzarite, assistant marshal under Toner and himself marshal by 2012; and Avery Minor, marshal in the town's 2024 record. The department's whole course — its size, its corridor enforcement history, its place in the town's mid-2000s controversies at pointer only — belongs to the movement and civic passes.
