Quietly, without fanfare or Congressional
hearings, the USA Patriot Act in 2001 bestowed on the 12 privately owned
Federal Reserve Banks, domestic policing powers. Section
364 of the Act, “Uniform Protection Authority for Federal Reserve,”
reads: “Law enforcement officers designated or authorized by the Board
or a reserve bank under paragraph (1) or (2) are authorized while on
duty to carry firearms and make arrests without warrants for any offense
against the United States committed in their presence…Such officers
shall have access to law enforcement information that may be necessary
for the protection of the property or personnel of the Board or a
reserve bank.” The police officers are technically
known as FRLEO, short for Federal Reserve Law Enforcement Officer. The
system has its own police academies for training, their own patch and
badges, uniforms, pistols, rifles, police cars and the power to arrest
coast to coast without a warrant. They have ranks of Sergeant,
Lieutenant, Captain and a recruitment ad campaign with the slogan: “It’s about respect and recognition from your peers. It’s you.” According
to a former St. Louis Federal Reserve Law Enforcement Training
Instructor, the officers are trained on pistol, rifle, auto-rifle,
sub-gun and shotgun with manufacturers encompassing Smith & Wesson,
Glock, Remington and Armalite. The FRLEOs employed
by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington, D.C. are
considered employees of the Federal government since the Board is a
government entity. Each of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks, as settled law
under Lewis v. United States confirms, is a private corporation owned
by commercial banks in its region. ...more

The Federal Reserve, a Privately Owned Banking Cartel, Has Been Given Police Powers, with Glock 22s and Patrol Cars
By mid morning on Monday, September 17, as Occupy Wall Street
protesters marched around the perimeter of the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York, all signs that an FRPD (Federal Reserve Police Department)
existed had disappeared. The FRPD patrol cars and law enforcement
officers had been replaced by NYPD patrol cars and officers. That
decision may have been made to keep from drawing attention to a
mushrooming new domestic police force that most Americans do not know
exists.
