I defer to "Skip's" professional knowledge on the subject.

However, the advantage of having multiple agencies is that agents develop an expertise in the specific fields to which they are assigned. This would be regardless of the extant of their actual authorites.

I dont think it would be a fun job either. You'd need to issue each offier a book-mobile so they could be certain to cite the appropriate statue or regulation!

As always, it's an educational experience to participate in this forum.
