I did speak with the special agent in charge of the Chicago Office of the Dept of Ed Inspector General office. The work of the IG office includes investigations into fraud and misuse of Dept. of Ed funds. This takes them into environments where they must deal with the criminal element including some bad actors who are armed. Like many others here, I had a hard time connecting the dots between shotguns and the Dept. of Ed. but it is easier to understand in the context of a mandate to investigate criminal fraud.

So, the Dept. of Ed has its own investigative service? Why? I thought the FBI or locals (state/municipality) was supposed to be in charge of such things. So, we can extrapolate from this that every (or mostly so) Dept. has its own armed investigative service?

Then they should be taking a local cop or FBI agent with them.

This is BS.

Silly me. That is what I thought sheriffs were for.
