English term or phrase: man oh man here's the MARSHAL

here's another one then I promise I won't bother you anymore on this subject.
It's a telltale question really... Clay Blaisedell has been hired by the citizen's committee to act as a private policeman, being given license to kill, informally. He is a Marshal. Soprintendente dello sceriffo? maresciallo?? il Professionista???

giogi: aggiungo che in un contesto ironico, si potrebbe usare semplicemente "sceriffo" in Italiano per enfatizzare le presa in giro. Oddio, arriva lo sceriffo!

-> Grazie e Ciao Giovanna.

agree

gloriana: Di solito vuol dire maresciallo. Il mio dizionario per esempio riporta che anche nell'inglese americano si usa maresciallo (della polizia, dei vigili del fuoco). Qui però la traduzione migliore mi sembra questa.

man oh man here's the marshal ufficiale/guardia

Explanation:
altra opzione:
trattandosi di un poliziotto privato potresti anche utilizzare un termine generico, che non implica ne' grado ne' riferimento al corpo di appartenenza
guardia, preferibilmente, in quanto trasmette l'idea di essere fornito del porto d'armi
