Question regarding HR218...

[XD-40]

I was wondering if the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency Police and Defense Logistics Agency Police were covered under HR218. As far as I know, the only two uniformed DoD agencies that are covered are Pentagon Police and NSA Police. Any insight would be appreciated. thanks also is there a such agency as Defense Intelligence Agency Police?

The 3 other DoD policing agencies (NGA,DIA,DLA) do not have off duty carry.

Any idea why not? They attend FLETC and do the same training that we do.

The authority comes via a military commander vs a civilian such as why PFPA-PPD and NSA police have statutory authority.

One of the prerequisites for coverage under LEOSA/HR218 is that the LEO possess statutory arrest authority. That is, their authority to arrest is granted by federal statute. PFPA and NSA are the only uniformed agencies under the DoD umbrella that possess statutory authority.

NGA, DIA, and DLA police derive their authority from their installation commander, not federal statutes. Therefore, they do not meet the requirements of LEOSA/HR218.

Paragraph 2.2 shows you which DoD agencies are covered by LEOSA/HR218. As you can see, PFPA and NSA are the only uniformed agencies in the list due to the fact that they have statutory arrest authority and meet all the other requirements.

DLA recieve their authority via the director of DLA who is a military officer. NGA/DIA are the same reason.

DLA DCIA have statutory authority.

DIA OIG 1811's do also. From the DIA 1811 opening on USAJOBS:

I think a lot is still open to interpretation. The USCG (enlisted) , technically does not have the authority, but a judge in NYS recently threw out a case, where an off-duty Coastie was charged with a handgun violation because the Coastie had LE Authority, even though his agency did not allow him to off-duty carry.

MY buddy just went to a great seminar in NJ or this subject, Very knowledgable attorney, gave great handouts and insight into the LEOSA, and its affects on various State, Federal, and Local officers.
