Law Enforcement Agencies within When we think of federal law enforcement agencies we only think about the CIA, FBI, DEA, and ATF. There are many different agencies that have their own law enforcement agencies within themselves. Two agencies I found to be within another agency is the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPSIS) which is an investigation agency within the United States Postal Service. I also found the United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations (USAF OSI) which is inside the United States Air Force which in turn is inside the Department of Defense. Both agencies work with other federal law enforcement agencies on different cases as needed. …show more content…

Postal service including its employees, buildings, and its customers. They enforce laws that defend our nations mailing systems and two hundred other federal laws. Their duty is to protect against illegal and dangerous use of the postal service and to ensure that the public has the trust of the postal service. Some of the laws that they enforce are assaults against a postal employee while that employee is performing official duties, investigate if a bomb is sent through the postal service, burglary which consists of an employee stealing a customer’s mail, or someone burglarizing the post office.

The Chief Postal Inspector is Guy Cottrell. He was appointed Chief Postal Inspector in July of 2010. He is responsible for instructions and regulations for security of the US Mail. Cottrell reports any findings to the Postmaster General. …show more content…

Over a ten-month period, inspectors found that more than two thousand priority mail and express envelopes, mailed contained the drugs. The postal inspectors worked with the DEA to conduct surveillance and electronic surveillance to identify the black-market distributors. With the help of the postal inspectors and the DEA, the postal inspectors made an arrest of Frank Venezia for violations of federal narcotics and child pornography laws. Due to Venezia sending the packages internationally, arrests in Kazakhstan and Australia were also made. (Annual-Report-2015-Text-Only.doc - U.S. Postal Inspection Service)
The other federal department I mentioned was the United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations or USAF OSI. The purpose of the USAF OSI is to identify, exploit, and neutralize any criminal terrorist threats, intelligence threats against the United States Air Force, the US Government and the Department of Defense. The United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations is a department within the Department of Defense. The USAF OSI has jurisdiction not only nationwide but internationally as

    Police: Breakdowns that allowed corruption are still uncorrected, study finds. The chief concedes that mediocrity became a way of life at all levels of the department. The Los Angeles Police Department failed time and again to take steps that might have headed off the worst corruption scandal in its history, according to a sweeping self-indictment prepared by the department's own leaders. In a letter accompanying the long-awaited Board of Inquiry report into the corruption centered in the department's Rampart Division, Police Chief Bernard C. Parks called the scandal a "life-altering experience for the Los Angeles Police Department" in which corrupt officers took advantage of lax supervision to carry out criminal acts.

  • The Department of Homeland Security and Border Security

    Over the course of the history of the United States of America, the country has had struggles with its own borders and the protection of those borders. Illegal immigration is a big problem and the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and cash over our borders into our country has evolved into a bigger problem. The United States has over seven-thousand miles of border to cover each day. That is quite a bit of land, but the only problem with this is there is a lack of manpower to cover every single mile of border. The US shares its borders with Canada and Mexico. All along these borders are small communities and cities that are occupied by US citizens. This means that these cities and communities require the protection of our Homeland Security Agency.

  • Military Intelligence Agency (DIA)

    As far as intelligence agencies go, there are a few that are common household names, like the CIA, NSA, and the FBI. Another agency that is still a major player, and has recently been the subject of much discussion and controversy is the DIA . The reason for this controversy and debate is because many people, both inside and outside of the IC , view the DIA as an agency that is no longer necessary within the IC. Although the DIA has shifted its focus in recent years, crossing over significantly into the realm of intelligence that is currently being covered by other organizations, they still have a very vital role as an organization within the IC. If the organization can redirect itself, returning to the roots of what it was originally created

  • The Pros And Cons Of The Postal Service

    677 Words  | 2 Pages

    When Americans go to check their mail, usually people find a plethora of advertisements and bills. It is very scarce for someone to receive “treasures” in the mail because most technologically advanced people continue to drift over to the internet as a way to reach each others, via e-mail and different forms of social media. Thus the postal service is failing in this growing economy. The United States Postal Services do not need reconstruction. It should be demolished, due to the fact that hundreds of trees are being wasted, and the United States Postal Service would require millions of dollars just to keep itself alive, despite losing billions already.
