Karta municypalna Nowego Jorku z 1686 roku:

Explanation: ew. strażnik municypalny, strażnik Rady (Miejskiej)
Są strażnicy marszałkowscy/sejmowi, więc taki neologizm będzie zrozumiały. Myślałem o tłumaczeniu "strażnik miejski", ale za bardzo się kojarzy ze strażą miejską.
In mediaeval times the Mayor was protected by his Sergeant-at-Mace. The normal weapon of the day was a mace and the Mayor's sergeant would carry one to defend the Mayor when he was about his duties. To make the authority of the Mayor obvious to everyone his mace became more and more elaborate and identifiable. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sergeant-at-mace

The two houses of the United States Congress have also adopted the Sergeant-at-Arms. In both cases, the sergeants are charged with the maintenance of order on the floor of the chamber (in the House, he may "display" the mace in front of an unruly member as an admonition to behave); they serve with the architect of the Capitol building on the commission that oversees the United States Capitol Police and security for the Congress, and they serve a variety of other functional and ceremonial roles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serjeant-at-Arms
Tak trochę archaicznie.

A Serjeant-at-Arms (sometimes spelled Sergeant-at-Arms) is an officer appointed by a deliberative body, usually a legislature, to keep order during its meetings. The word sergeant is derived from the Latin serviens, which means "servant". - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serjeant-at-Arms
