Question
Im really in us marshals but i dont really know what are my needs to get accepted im a freshmen entering high school and i would really want please answer me.
You are "IN the US Marshalls"? Or you are interested in joining the US Marshall's? I am going to assume the later.
If you are a freshman in high school you have at least seven years before you could ever hope to be considered for such a position. You need to graduate from high school with a high GPA, have a near perfect attendance record, a perfect disciplinary record, and have recommendations from your teachers. After high school you should go on to college, graduate with a very good GPA, and have a perfect driving and no criminal record.
I am wondering how you got interested in the Marshall's Service and wonder if you know what they do?

Expertise
U.S.: I am an expert in this category for the purpose of giving young people an idea what the hiring process involves for the position of police officer. I am getting a flood of questions from young people who are being influenced by unrealistic television shows. I'd ask you to consider that when you watch police shows on television that they are NOT realistic and most of what you see does not happen in real life. Please do not ask me about potential jail sentences that you, your friends, or family might receive in court. There is no way for me to know that. I am NOT a probation officer so I cannot answer questions about probation and parole matters. I am a retired police officer with 26 years experience.I worked in a variety of assignments including investigations, homicide, sex crimes, runaway investigations, missing persons, and fraud.I also dealt with the general public during that time giving a wide range of advice on matters such as domestic disputes, problem solving, teenage problems, civil/criminal matters, and dealing with the mentally ill. I am available to give sound and reasonable advice which can solve most problems. Please do not ask me to do homework questions or online interviews. Young people should not rely on the Internet for interviews. Local police officers are normally very agreeable to assist students with interviews and surveys.
