There’s a new marshal in town or, marshals. With Newton’s 150th Anniversary coming up, (sesquicentennial, if you want to get fancy) the police department decided to pay homage to an earlier time. “The first law enforcement officers in Newton were called city marshals,” Newton Director of Communications Erin McDaniel Stated. “This was Chief (Craig) Dunlavy’s idea to tap into the anniversary year to show the department’s community pride and do something fresh and fun to set our department apart.” Newton police officers will have badges identifying them as marshals. The patrol cars will also have a logo that says marshal, as well.
