The U.S. Federal Protective Service is an office within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency.
The Federal Protective Service employs over 1,200 Federal Police Officers, Inspectors, and Special Agents. These officers are tasked with the protection of over 9,000 federal buildings and properties that are either leased or owned by the U.S. General Services Administration or the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
More information about the FPS can be found here, and here.

Scanning the Federal Protective Service
The Federal Protective Service is divided into 11 regions throughout the United States.
- Region 1 - New England
- Region 2 - Northeast & Caribbean
- Region 3 - Mid-Atlantic
- Region 4 - Southeast
- Region 5 - Central
- Region 6 - Heartland
- Region 7 - Greater Southwest
- Region 8 - Rocky Mountain
- Region 9 - Pacific Rim
- Region 10 - Northwest & Arctic
- Region 11 - National Capitol Region
A map of the FPS Regions can be found on the ICE website.
Each of these regions is assigned to a "MegaCenter" who provides alarm monitoring and emergency dispatch services to the units in the field. There are four such centers in the United States.
- MegaCenter Philadelphia (Pennsylvania; Serves Regions 1, 2, 3)
- MegaCenter Battle Creek (Michigan; Serves Regions 4, 5, 6)
- MegaCenter Denver (Colorado; Serves Regions 7, 8, 9, 10)
- MegaCenter Suitland (Maryland; Serves Region 11)
More information about the MegaCenters can be found here.
Each unit in the field is assigned a distinctive sequence number to identify their region and assignment. Assignment designators are as follows:
- CHARLES - Captain
- GEORGE - Contract Guards
- IDA - Investigator
- KING - Canine Unit
- LINCOLN - Lieutenant
- PAUL - Patrol Officer
- SAM - Sergeant
- TOM - Physical Security Specialist (Non-Commissioned)
- VICTOR - Commander
- X-RAY - Dispatch Supervisor
Example Unit Number: 11 GEORGE 199 The first digits indicate what region the unit is assigned to. In this example the officer is assigned to the National Capitol Region (Region 11) The next designator is a letter, this letter indicates what type or assignment the unit holds. In this example "GEORGE" indicates that the unit is a Contract Security Guard. The third number is an individual officer number.
