I am of the firm opinion that the majority of federal agencies should be required to utilize and compensate the local sheriff’s office for the majority of their LEO needs. Further, federal SWAT teams should be limited to the US Marshals along with the responsibiliy for security of federal buildings / locations.
A few exceptions might be warranted such as Border Patrol and FBI, but the vast majority should be limited to side arms and personal defensive weapons.
When was the last time you saw a policemen and didn’t feel threatened?
