Federal Law Enforcement: Survey of Federal Civilian Law
Enforcement Functions and Authorities (19-DEC-06, GAO-07-121).
Law enforcement officers (LEOs) within the federal government
play a key role in maintaining the safety and security of federal
property, employees, and the general public. In this report, we
describe the number of LEOs that federal civilian law enforcement
components employed as of June 30, 2006; the federal job series
classifications the components used to employ LEOs; and the
sources of their primary legal authorities. To identify federal
components that employ LEOs, we consulted, among other sources,
the Federal Citizen Information Center's Cabinet Agencies and
Independent Agencies and Commissions Directory; a list of
organizations included in the Federal Law Enforcement Training
Center (FLETC) 2004-2005 List of Agencies Trained at FLETC; and
federal agencies listed in Federal Law Enforcement Officers,
2002, published by the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice
Statistics (BJS). We identified 104 federal civilian law
enforcement components and administered two Web-based surveys to
each--one survey on the primary authorities and the other survey
on the job series classifications. We defined an LEO as an
individual authorized to perform any of four specific functions:
(1) conduct criminal investigations, (2) execute search warrants,
(3) make arrests, or (4) carry firearms.

FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
Survey of Federal Civilian Law Enforcement Functions and Authorities
What GAO Found
The 104 federal components we surveyed reported a total of 137,929 LEOs as
of June 30, 2006, who were authorized to perform at least one of 4
specified law enforcement functions. These 104 components operate within
14 departments and 28 nondepartmental entities. Seven of the 104
components account for 93,263 (68 percent) of all LEOs (see fig. 1). Six
of these 7 components are within the Department of Justice (DOJ) or
Department of Homeland Security (DHS). DOJ and DHS accounted for 108,324
(79 percent) of the total civilian LEOs--58,489 and 49,835 respectively.

The components reported using 211 different job series classifications or
titles for their LEOs. They also reported employing 121,821 LEOs under 188
Office of Personnel Management (OPM) job series classifications and 16,108
LEOs under 23 non-OPM job series or titles. The most widely used OPM job
series is the 1811 criminal investigator series used by 71 different LEO
components. The next three job series with the largest number of LEOs were
the 1895 Customs and Border Protection officer series, the 0007
correctional officer series, and 1896 Border Patrol agent series.
All of the components cited federal statutes as a primary source of their
authorities to perform law enforcement functions. Additionally, 40
components reported federal regulations, rules, or procedures as primary
sources of authority. Other sources included memorandums of understanding,
presidential directives, internal directives and orders, and delegation of
authority from other federal agencies.
We provided a draft of this report to the 104 components included in the
survey for comment. We received a number of technical comments, which we
incorporated in the report where appropriate.

The Honorable F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. Chairman Committee on the
Judiciary House of Representatives
The Honorable Lamar S. Smith Chairman Committee on the Judiciary
Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet and Intellectual Property House of
Representatives
Law enforcement officers (LEO) within the federal government play a key
role in maintaining the safety and security of federal property,
employees, and the general public. You asked us to provide information on
LEOs employed in the government. This report responds to your request by
providing summary information on law enforcement activities and
authorities for federal civilian law enforcement components. As agreed
with your office, we excluded the law enforcement components of the
Department of Defense and the intelligence community from the scope of our
review. A more complete set of data for the components, their law
enforcement missions, primary authorities, and personnel information, as
reported by the components, can be viewed in an electronic supplement we
are issuing concurrent with this report--GAO-07-223SP.
For purposes of this report, we defined an LEO as an individual authorized
to perform any of four specific functions: conduct criminal
investigations, execute search warrants, make arrests, or carry firearms.
This definition is based upon our prior work, interviews with federal
agencies employing LEOs, and other sources.
In this report, we describe (1) the number of LEOs that the federal
components reported employing as of June 30, 2006, and the distribution of
these LEOs across the civilian government; (2) the federal job series
classifications the components reported that they used to employ LEOs; and
(3) the sources from which these federal components reported deriving
their primary statutory, regulatory, or other authorities to perform any
of the four law enforcement functions cited above. You also requested that
we provide information on mandatory LEO training. That work is ongoing,
and as agreed with your office, we plan to provide the training
information in a separate report.
To determine which federal components had LEOs, we reviewed federal law
enforcement statistics and other federal law enforcement directories. To
collect the LEO information on these components, we then administered two
Web-based surveys--one on the primary sources of authorities cited for the
specified law enforcement functions and the other on the job series
classifications used for such LEOs. Copies of the two surveys can be
viewed via the electronic supplement link provided in the first paragraph
on page 1. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) generally
determines numeric classifications for LEOs by job series and titles. In
some cases, according to OPM officials, non-OPM job classifications are
used where OPM has delegated to individual components the ability to
classify their own job titles. All job series information in this report
reflects OPM's series classification unless otherwise noted. This report
contains self-reported information from each LEO component surveyed. While
we did not independently verify the accuracy of the information provided
to us, after receiving the completed surveys, we conducted quality control
checks by analyzing the responses to identify inconsistencies and
contacted survey respondents to reconcile any inconsistencies. We also
returned copies of the survey responses as they appeared in our draft
report to each agency for comment. Each law enforcement component was
offered the opportunity to make any corrections to its original responses.
A more detailed explanation of our scope and methodology is in appendix I.
Our work was conducted from January 2006 through November 2006 in
accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.

Nearly 138,000 LEOs Employed by 104 Federal Civilian Components
The 104 federal civilian components we surveyed
reported employing a total of 137,929 LEOs^1 as
of June 30, 2006, who were authorized to perform at
least one of the following four law enforcement functions: conduct

criminal investigations, execute search warrants, make arrests, or carry
firearms. The 104 LEO components operate within 14 departments and 28
nondepartmental entities. (App. II shows a breakdown of the 104 components
by department or nondepartmental entity). Seven of the 104 civilian
components account for 93,263 LEOs, or 68 percent of all LEOs, as shown in
figure 1. Six of those 7 components are within either the Department of
Justice (DOJ) or Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the remaining
component employs probation and pretrial services officers within the
Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AOUSC). DOJ and DHS account for
a total of 108,324 (79 percent) of the total civilian LEOs, 58,489 and
49,835 respectively.

211 Different Job Series Are Used for Employing LEOs
The 104 civilian components we surveyed reported using 211 different job
series classifications for employing their LEOs: 188 OPM job series and 23
non-OPM job series or titles. The components reported employing a total of
121,821 LEOs under the OPM job series and 16,108 LEOs under the non-OPM
series, as of June 30, 2006. See appendix III for a list of the OPM job
series and titles and appendix IV for a list of the non-OPM job series and
titles by component. Figure 2 shows the four law enforcement job series
with the largest number of federal LEOs, which, in total, account for 63
percent (86,712) of all LEOs. (App. V lists the job series/titles and
federal components with more than 1,000 LEOs.)
OPM assigns specific numerical codes to the various job series for the
purposes of identification and human resources management. OPM job series
are part of occupational groups or job families that include all classes
or positions at the various skill levels in a particular kind of work. As
indicated in figure 2, the OPM job series reflecting the most federal
civilian LEOs was the 1811 criminal investigator series. In addition to
the 1811 job series, the next three job series with the largest number of
LEOs were the 1895 Customs and Border Protection officer series, the 0007
correctional officer series, and 1896 Border Patrol agent series.

Several of the OPM job series, including 1811 (criminal investigator),
0083 (police officers), and 1801 (various law enforcement officers and
investigators), were reported as being used across a number of different
components. Other law enforcement job series were specific to particular
components, such as job series 1895 Customs and Border Protection officers
within DHS and job series 0462 Forestry Technician within the Department
of Interior. The 1811 criminal investigator series was the most commonly
used series across the LEO components we surveyed--71 of the 104
components. Table 1 shows the 15 OPM-designated job series that were
reported as used by more than one LEO component.

aComponents may use multiple job series for employing their LEOs.
bAccording to OPM, the difference between the 1801 and 1802 job series
classifications is that 1802 positions have a support role ("perform or
supervise inspectional or technical support work") in assuring compliance
with or enforcement of federal law, regulations, or other mandatory
guidelines. Positions in the 1801 job series "administer, coordinate,
supervise or perform inspection, investigative, analytical or advisory
work."
Among the four most widely-used OPM job series, the components reported
that the law enforcement functions authorized to be performed by 1811
criminal investigators and 0083 police officers were generally consistent
across those series. See appendix VI for the authorized law enforcement
functions of the four most used OPM job series by component. For example,
62 of the 71 components using the 1811 job series reported that their 1811
LEOs were authorized to perform all four functions--conduct criminal
investigations, execute search warrants, make arrests, and carry firearms.
Similarly, the LEOs in the 0083 job series for 11 of the 15 components
using that series were reported as authorized to perform all four
functions.
Components using the other two most widely used OPM law enforcement job
series--the 1801 general inspection series and the 0080 security
administrative series--reported that the law enforcement functions their
components were authorized to perform varied widely. For example, for the
18 components using the 1801 job series, 5 components reported their LEOs
were authorized to perform all 4 law enforcement functions. Law
enforcement functions among the other 13 components varied. Similarly,
among the 13 components using the 0080 job series, 7 reported that their
LEOs were authorized to conduct criminal investigations and the other 6
reported that they were not authorized to conduct criminal investigations.
Although law enforcement components responding to our survey reported
using 188 different OPM job series, 153 of these job series designations
were used exclusively by DOJ's Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP). According
to BOP's survey responses, 16,216 of its total of 34,200 employees are
designated in the 0007 correctional officer job series. Law enforcement
personnel in the 0007 job series are responsible for the correctional
treatment, custody, and supervision of criminal offenders. The remaining
17,984 employees are in other occupations, including job titles such as
sports specialist, chaplain, secretary, metal worker, electrician,
plumber, pharmacist, language specialist, maintenance mechanic, cook, and
gardener. According to BOP, these personnel also have primary
responsibility for the supervision of inmates, have arrest and firearms
authority, and receive annual training to reinforce the application of
correctional techniques, as well as emergency procedures.
Components Cited a Wide Range of Authorities for Their Law Enforcement
Functions
The 104 federal components collectively cited a wide range of sources for
their primary authorities to perform any of the four specified law
enforcement functions. All of the components we surveyed included federal
statutes (e.g., United States Code) as a source of their primary
authorities. In addition, 40 components reported authorities derived from
federal regulations (e.g., Code of Federal Regulations), rules, or
procedures. As shown in table 2, components also cited, for example,
memorandums of understanding and cooperative agreements with other
federal, state and local agencies; presidential directives and executive
orders; internal directives and orders; and delegation of authority from
other federal agencies, such as the General Services Administration. (See
app. VII for a list of components and their reported sources of primary
authorities other than federal statutory sources.) A complete list of each
component's primary authorities, as reported by the components, can be

Appendix I: Scope and Methodology
We administered two Web-based surveys to obtain information from federal
civilian components with law enforcement officers (LEO). Copies of the two
surveys can be viewed via the link in the first paragraph on page 1 of
this report. The first survey requested that each component state its law
enforcement mission and list the primary authorities for their LEOs to
perform any of the following four law enforcement functions: (1) conduct
criminal investigations, (2) execute search warrants, (3) make arrests, or
(4) carry firearms. The types of authorities sought through the survey
were those based on statutory sources, (e.g., United States Code),
regulatory sources, (e.g., Code of Federal Regulations), and other
sources, such as executive orders, agency directives, or memorandums of
understanding between agencies. This survey was administered between June
2006 and October 2006. We obtained a 100-percent response rate for the law
enforcement authority survey.
The second survey requested that each component list the job series of the
LEOs who were authorized to perform at least one of the four law
enforcement functions mentioned above and the number of LEOs employed for
each job series as of June 30, 2006. This survey was administered between
August 2006 and October 2006. We obtained a 100-percent response rate for
the job series survey.
Since our surveys were not sample surveys, there are no sampling errors.
However, the practical difficulties of conducting any survey may introduce
errors, commonly referred to as nonsampling errors. For example,
difficulties in how a particular question is interpreted by respondents,
in the sources of information that are available to respondents, or in how
we processed and analyzed the responses we received can influence the
accuracy of the survey results. We took steps in the development of the
surveys, the data collection, and the data analysis to minimize these
potential nonsampling errors and help ensure the accuracy of the answers
that were obtained. An independent analyst reviewed all of the computer
programs used in the processing of the data.
To help identify which types of law enforcement functions would be used to
define an LEO for the purposes of our surveys, our analysis included
consulting our previous work on federal law enforcement authorities and
personnel,^1 reviewing law enforcement related documentation from the
U.S. Office of Personnel Management,^2 and interviewing officials with
expertise in law enforcement functions of various civilian agencies
employing LEOs.
To determine which federal components might employ LEOs performing any of
the four functions listed above, we compiled an initial list based on the
federal agencies:
o listed in Federal Law Enforcement Officers, 2002, published by the
Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS);
o identified as partner organizations of the Department of Homeland
Security Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), where
federal law enforcement agencies agreed to train their LEOs, and other
agencies included in FLETC's 2004-2005 List of Agencies Trained at
FLETC; and
o listed in the Federal Citizen Information Center's Cabinet Agencies
and Independent Agencies and Commissions Directory.
The term "federal law enforcement officer" can be defined in numerous ways
depending on the information sought. To best meet the information needs of
the requester and the time frame for reporting, it was necessary to limit
our scope to law enforcement officers employed directly by the federal
government as well as exclude certain agencies or components. We refined
the list of federal components to survey by submitting our initial list to
the components' parent departments and nondepartmental entities for
corrections and additions. This compilation is not intended to reflect all
personnel in the federal law enforcement community. We did not include
contract services, civilian law enforcement officers and investigators
within the Department of Defense (DOD) or the DOD Offices

To identify the specific information to collect in our surveys, such as
components' law enforcement missions, the job series classifications they
use for employing their LEOs, and the types of law enforcement
authorities, we conducted initial interviews with Department of Homeland
Security's and Department of Justice's officials with law enforcement
expertise. We developed and pretested both of our surveys with three
components with diverse missions, and of varying sizes (e.g., National
Park Service of the Department of Interior, Immigration and Customs
Enforcement of the Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S.
Government Accountability Office) to ensure the questions were clear and
unambiguous. Upon completion of the pretest, we made necessary changes to
the final surveys prior to nationwide implementation.
To help ensure sending the surveys to knowledgeable component officials
(e.g., officials with legal or human resources knowledge), we requested
the designated GAO liaisons of each component to identify these
knowledgeable officials and provide their contact information. We also
followed up with these officials to clarify survey responses, if
necessary.
All of the data in this report are what were reported by the 104 civilian
LEO components through our Web-based surveys. Copies of the two surveys
can be viewed via the link in the first paragraph on page 1. We did not
independently verify the accuracy of the information provided to us. We
did, however, after receiving the completed surveys, examine the survey
results and performed computer analyses to identify inconsistencies and
other possible indications of error (e.g., inconsistent listing of law
enforcement job series between the authority survey and the job series
survey). Also, we conducted quality control checks via telephone and
e-mail with the survey respondents to follow up on possible internal data
inconsistencies or other issues needing clarification, such as unanswered
questions or data entry errors. Where possible, we compared the law
enforcement job series and number of LEOs in the job series survey with
information available from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the September
2005 Central Personnel Data File of the Office of Personnel
Management, and documents collected from 27 of the components in our prior
work.
3According to a DOJ official, many DOJ attorneys are authorized to conduct
criminal investigations and routinely manage such investigations as
Assistant United States Attorneys, Legal Division Trial Attorneys, or in
related positions.
We also returned copies of the survey responses as they appeared in our
draft report to each agency for comment. Each law enforcement component
was offered the opportunity to make any corrections to its original
responses. A number of the law enforcement components provided technical
corrections, additions, and or deletions to its original responses. These
technical comments were incorporated in the report where appropriate.
