Shooter Kills One, Is Killed in Las Vegas Federal Building Lobby
Unrelated to the incident, there has been pressure on the Federal Protective Service last year in relation to who that agency reports as well as the need to tighten up access controls at federal building lobbies.
In late October, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano transferred Federal Protective Service (FPS) from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD). She claimed the move aimed at “streamlining decision-making and aligning the protection of federal buildings with DHS’ broader critical infrastructure protection mission.”
