[Scan-DC] FBI Marked Units?

[Eric C. Carlson]

The Federal Protective Service still exists and protects federal
government buildings that are not protected by another department (FPS
used to be a part of the General Services Administration before moving
to Homeland Security).  The Secret Service Uniformed Division provides
embassy-related security.  The Department of State's Diplomatic
Security Service provides protection for the Secretary of State and
visiting foreign dignitaries (except heads of state, which are
protected by the Secret Service).  The CIA's police department is
called the CIA Security Protective Service.  I suggest you see the CHM
Inaugration newsletter for information on many of these miscellaneous
police departments:
