"The number of federal department with armed personnel climbs to 73 when adding in the 33 offices of inspector general, the government watchdogs for agencies as large as the Postal Service to the Government Printing Office, whose IG has only five full-time officers."

From here: Armed EPA raid in Alaska sheds light on 70 fed agencies with armed divisions.

The agencies employ about 120,000 full-time officers authorized to carry guns and make arrests

That's about 10 divisions worth of civilians. Interestingly enough, the U.S. Army has 10 active divisions. Didn't Obama once say something about wanting a civilian security force equal in size and capability to the U.S. Army?
