The FBI has fewer personnel than the Secret Police of the Justice Department.
FBI Washington Field Office : With more than 830 special agents (click here) and more than 850 professional staff, the Washington Field Office remains at the forefront of the FBI’s efforts to protect the people and defend the nation.

...To understand the police forces (click here) ringing Trump and the White House it helps to understand the dense and not-entirely-sensical thicket of agencies that make up the nation’s civilian federal law enforcement. With little public attention, notice and amid historically lax oversight, those ranks have surged since 9/11—growing by roughly 2,500 officers annually every year since 2000. To put it another way: Every year since the 2001 terrorist attacks, the federal government has added to its policing ranks a force larger than the entire Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives....
2500 agents X 20 years is 50,000 special police in Washington, DC. Where is the arsenal that supplies 50,000 police officers?
The FBI in total have only 35,000 agents. This is ridiculous. The Special Police have to be downsized and assessed for racial equality.
The Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Force is only 3800 officers for slightly more than 700.000 residents. The municipal government of Washington, DC should be outraged that their own police force is so minuscule compared to the Secret Police of the Justice Department.
This is ridiculous. There needs to be a severe reassessment of this DOJ force, it's duties and it's numbers.
