Last week there was a story about IRS agents getting shotguns

The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, GA trains law enforcement officers from about 86 partnering federal agencies.
Here are GS-1811s in the Department of Labor. One could ponder why the law enforcement raid could not have been conducted by perhaps the Bureau?

Federal agents raid career academy

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS — Federal agents have raided the Galiano Career Academy in Seminole County.
It's unclear why the agents are at the school. A business card one of the agents gave a student indicated the agent handles racketeering and fraud investigations with the Department of Labor.
Agents were still in the building, located in the Circuit City Plaza on State Road 436, after lunchtime Wednesday.
A U.S. Attorney's Office spokesman wouldn't comment on the search and the documents related to the case are sealed.
The school had just opened Wednesday morning when agents arrived, students told the Orlando Sentinel.
"They have a truckload of evidence," said student Erica Webb of Sanford. "I'm talking about a U-Haul truck."
Webb, who is studying to be a medical assistant, said she saw agents take records and computers.
Other students said they watched through the windows as agents were opening the computers. But when the agents saw them, they closed the blinds.
Webb said she's had a lot of problems with the school — they lost the folder with her Social Security number twice.
Students told the Sentinel they spoke to agents. The students were asked if they got credited for attending classes, and also inquired about their financial aid.
Several students told the Sentinel they think the federal inquiry deals with financial aid.
One student was given a business card from an agent with the Department of Labor, Office of the Inspector General. The card indicates the agent handles racketeering and fraud investigations.
Student Allison Clark of Altamonte Springs said the school has been audited several times. She said students have arrived to find notes on the doors saying there are no classes because of ongoing audits.
None of the students could estimate exactly how many agents arrived at the career academy, but one student said it was "a lot." The door is locked and agents remained inside as of about 2 p.m.
According to the Galiano Career Academy Web site, the private school specializes in training for careers as: medical assistant, medical administrative assistant, medical billing and coding, administrative assistant, pharmacy technician and travel counselor.
The telephone line at the school was busy this afternoon. A school official has not responded to an e-mail from the Sentinel.
