Does every Federal Agency have its own Police Force?

What is very definitely scary is the amount of ammo requested/bought in the last five years. A lot of it being hollow points(kill rounds) and no frick has been given by anyone in the halls of government

Many do,

State Department- AWOL during Benghazi

Department of Education- no teachers on payroll but does have SWAT team

Department of Energy- in case a utility needs to be raided

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service- you never know when a grizzly bear needs taking out

National Park Service- campers could get unruly

Do they keep Departmental Information from each other?

I bet if people with a brain actually looked into the subject and figured out how much was really purchased, it wouldn't be all that bad.
Generally I've found that people don't understand how a federal solicitation is put out and what it means. And of course, whatever number is put out there, is doubled or trippled to make the story for the email chain and scary websites sound better.

Seriously, I'm not all that worried if an agency chooses to put a request for quote out on a public website known to the whole world that they might buy a certain amount of ammo.
And who the hell is scared of a half trained dumbass Social Security, Postal Inspector, or National Park Police employee?

I'm more concerned with the millions of coffins that FEMA purchases and the equipment movements of military stuff that our secret government and the UN have going on all over our country.

Will the quality/amount of training matter one bit when you're on the wrong end of the barrel?

I work in this field myself and you are of course completely right on this point.

For example, suppose I am agency ABC and my funding is set to expire in two months. I can buy a billion rounds in various calibers and then next year (after my funding is expired) sell it to other agencies through an interagency agreement.

NRA debunked this boogeyman a few months ago in an article in The American Rifleman.

You know these questions are good ones, but has anyone in here written their representatives and demanded answers? In a re-election year if these issues are brought to the table it seems to me they better provide some damn good answers.
