Who enforced the law in the old west?

In the Old West, law enforcement was often carried out by a mix of local sheriffs, marshals, and vigilante groups, as formal law enforcement was sparse. Sheriffs were typically elected officials responsible for maintaining order in towns, while U.S. Marshals handled federal law enforcement in the territories. Vigilante groups sometimes took matters into their own hands when they felt official law enforcement was inadequate. The effectiveness and legitimacy of these enforcers varied widely, leading to a complex and often violent legal landscape.
