It has come to my attention that the list is out of date. There are agencies listed here that no longer exist. Additionally, I think there should be a consensus on what counts as a "law enforcement agency." The federal government has over 100 different organizations with some sort of law enforcement officer employed, so I feel that we should narrow the parameters of what counts. I believe the best criteria would to include only agencies that have uniformed LEO's, or conduct criminal investigations. Other options could have the list include all agencies that employ persons who have powers of arrest while duty. Even broader, we could also include agencies that employ persons authorized to conduct criminal investigations, but do not have arrest powers. If anyone has any opinions, please let me know so I can begin editing the article. PCKosakowski ( talk) 06:14, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

At the very least, the only agencies that should be listed are those with arrest powers. US Citizenship and Immigration Services should be removed as they have no law enforcement powers of search, seizure or arrest of any kind. The USCIS Fraud Detection and National Security Directorate noted on the list has no law enforcement authority. Norwich89 ( talk) 23:35, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
